Contrary to what other posters have asserted, doing the above can't make
a difference. Putting 'r' in front of a string literal tells Python not
to give backslashes in the string literal any special treatment. Since
there are no backslashes in "%s", the 'r' does nothing.
Therefore, (r"%s"%full) is the same as ("%s"%full), which is the same as
(full), assuming that `full` is the name of a string.
The real answer lies in fixing the code where you're assigning the
pathname to 'full', which you haven't posted. Please post the code where
you're assigning the pathname, or better yet, post the complete code
you're running.
