Minor question. I was adding the Py Script directory to the Win 7 Path, and noticed that Python33 ends with a backslash but many directories do not. Is there a difference? Should I use backslash or not preferentially, or doesn't it matter at all? It does seem odd that there's no convention for this.
There's no Python convention. There may be a Windows convention, but I doubt it. As far as I could tell when I was stuck in Windows, the only time a trailing backslash was significant was when there was nothing in front of it but a colon and/or a drive letter.
In Linux, applications are free to make their own use of the trailing backslash, and I know that rsync does something different with it present than without. But in the PATH, it doesn't matter.
