You can use the os module to build path names in a platform-independent manner. On my Linux box, I can type
>>> BASE = '/' >>> import os >>> os.path.join(BASE, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz') '/foo/bar/baz' On a Windows machine, you get >>> BASE = 'C:' >>> import os >>> os.path.join(BASE, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz') 'C:\\foo\\bar\\baz' This is a little more cumbersome that just typing the string, but using os.path.join makes it easy to port your scripts to a new platform. Check out http://docs.python.org/lib/module-os.path.html for more information. Cheers, Michael -- Michael Hartl http://michaelhartl.org/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
