The backslash is used as an escape character within string literals. Either use raw strings: cl_path = ms_vc_path + r'\VC\bin' or escape the backslashes: cl_path = ms_vc_path + '\\VC\\bin' or use os.path.join(): cl_path = os.path.join(ms_vc_path, 'VC', 'bin') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
