You're right, but the moment I append it onto a list, it would become
C:\\moo.

No, it would not. Really!

 C:\moo
 C:\supermoo
 ['C:\\moo', 'C:\\supermoo']

It is not the matter of content of the string but only of a way of
*presentation* of it by print:

    print arrPlaces

in the example is roughly equivalent to:

    print '[' + repr(a_list[0]) + ', ' + repr(a_list[1]) + ']'


So try:

    print a_list[0]
Output:
    C:\moo

    print a_list[1]
Output:
    C:\supermoo

    print ', '.join(arrPlaces)
Output:
    C:\moo, C:\supermoo

    print ', '.join("'%s'" % item for item in arrPlaces)
Output:
    'C:\moo', 'C:\supermoo'


Cheers,
