A nice person from another thread helped me... a = 'disable "@USB\VID_0403&PID_6010&MI_00\7&15E4F68&1&0000' print a disable "@USB\VID_0403&PID_6010&MI_00&15E4F68&1&0000
\7 is the ASCII bell so your args may be different from what you think. I thought the quote method I have fixes this problem, but I guess I was wrong. Anyone have suggestions on how I can get that parameter in there without the '\7' part getting lost? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
