Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: The backslash \ has a special meaning in strings: \n is the new line character, and \t is the tab character: http://docs.python.org/2/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literals
Try to print the string! You could use \\, or raw strings r"like this". Or just use forward slashes / which are allowed by Windows. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17366> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
