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.
