Hi, I'm having problems getting a pound sign to go through as input sent to the raw_input() command. I'm running Python 2.5.1 on Windows XP. Here's my simple little script:
while True: response = raw_input("Please enter a file name: ") if os.path.exists(response): break Problem is if the filename has a "#" in it, the script interprets that as the beginning of a comment (not sure why -- isn't raw_input supposed to treat the user's input as raw text and not do any sort of evals?) Any ideas how to get a # to go through? Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
