Tim Golden <m...@timgolden.me.uk> added the comment: You need to use raw strings or to use forward-slashes in your pathnames:
r"c:\downloads\hacking\0812logcompress" or "c:/downloads/hacking/0812logcompress" The sequence \0 has a special meaning in strings, introducing an octal escape, I think. ---------- nosy: +tim.golden _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4723> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
