Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: I think path names should be printed with forward slashes on Windows as well as elsewhere to avoid this type of confusion, and this. >>> sb 'tmp\\foo' >>> print(sb) tmp\foo (Of course I know why.)
Users have been advised on python-list by various people to enter literal paths with forward slashes for the same reason. Printing them out that way would encourage and reinforce this. ---------- nosy: +tjreedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4927> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
