That's a somewhat surprising error. Under 2.5, I get a more helpful
error message:
>>> import os
>>> os.listdir("C:\Python25\")
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string
That's because I've escaped the closing quote of the string with \".
Use this instead:
>>> os.listdir("C:\\Python25\\")
or
>>> os.listdir("C:/Python25/")
since windows is usually happy to use forward slashes instead of
backslashes in directory names.
