The book, Programming Python, shows an example of os.chdir() on the
Windows platform, as follows:
os.chdir(r'c:\temp')
What's the 'r' for? It didn't seem to make any difference in how
Python works - at least not on the surface.
Thanks,
Don

r ... raw Strings. There will no substitution be processed.
Otherwise the \t ( Tab ) will be inserted in the string:
print a\tb
a b
Let's see if I can get this right.as I am working on memory and not enough
sleep.
The 'r' means that using a raw string so the backslashes aren't escaped
out
The equivalent without using the 'r' would be: os.chdir('c:\\temp')
