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, *j -- Jan Kaliszewski (zuo) <z...@chopin.edu.pl> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
