SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string
I hit this all the time with Vim's path-completion (":help
i_CTRL-X_CTRL-F") on Win32 which puts a trailing "\" on
directory-names. I just need to remember to remove it, a task made
easier because the syntax highlighting correctly shows how Python
interprets it (i.e., the string is still continued).

Sorry about that I hit the touchpad on my laptop by mistake. Beside the
using single '\' vs a double '\\' does that look ok?

according to the docs for os.path.join, you don't need the backslash stuff
at all. Python knows the correct separator for your os and inserts it
accordingling:
I'm on linux:
import os
p = os.path.join('bob', 'bill')
p
'bob/bill'
Worse than that, the code as posted by the OP used string concatenation
before calling os.path.join(), and the latter method does nothing at
all, when presented with a single string.
