My preference:
sys.path.append(r"C:\DataFileTypes")
This doesn't work if you need to add a trailing backslash, though.
Also my preference (except, due to aging eyes and bad fonts, I prefer
single quotes unless doubles are needed). I solve the trailing
backslash problem as so:
sys.path.append(r'C:\DataFileTypes' '\\')
Why not: r'C:\DataFileTypes\ '
Because that's the file named " " that lives in C:\DataFileTypes?
Is whitespace name possible? I tried:
os.mkdir(r'C:\somedir\ ')
and it gives the error:
WindowsError: [Error 183] Cannot create a file when that file already
exists: 'C:\\somedir\\ '
Every single way I can think of to try to make a name with purely space
failed. Why not make os modules special case single whitespace folder?
(give better reason than to quote the Zen)
anyway, you could always use r'C:\DataFileTypes\ '[:-1]
