I got a stupid problem; on my WinXP-box I want to scan the filesystem and enter a path to scan like this :
path_to_scan = 'd:\test_images' This is used in a larger context and joined like real_path_after_scanning = os.path.join(path_to_scan, somepart, 'foo', 'bar', filename) Using os.path.exists(real_path_after_scanning) returns false. The problem is that some of the parts being joined contains escape characters, like \. If I take the seperate parts and join them using the interpreter, like : >>> f = r'd:\test_images\something\foo\bar\test.jpg' it works ok and os.path.exists(f) returns True, but I cannot the that r' in front using the os.path.join-method in my code. I don't know if this makes any sense at all, but I'm lost. Damn those stupid windows-paths !! Thanks in advance, Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
