Yes. >>> print "logs/2011-07-03" logs/2011-07-03 >>> print "logs\2011-07-03" logs�1-07-03 Don't use backslashes as path separators in Python. Backslashes are used for string escapes. \n means newline, not backslash n \t means tab, not backslash t and \201 means octal character 0201 (hex 'x81', decimal 129). There are three solutions: (1) Escape every backslash with an extra backslash: >>> print "logs\\2011-07-03" logs\2011-07-03 (2) Use forward slashes, as Windows will happily accept them instead of backslashes. (3) Use another operating system. *wink* -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
