This is the behavior I need:
path = path.replace('\\', '\\\\')
Is there a better way?
For one-time use, and given that you cannot un-double with the r prefix, not that I know of. For using the substrings multiple times, name them.
>>> s = r'abc\cd\ef' >>> bs = '\\' >>> bs2 = bs+bs >>> s.replace(bs, bs2) 'abc\\\\cd\\\\ef' >>> len(s.replace(bs, bs2)) 11 # and continue to use bs and bs2 -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
