Here is my situation: I am trying to programatically access files created on an IBM AIX system, stored on a Sun OS 5.8 fileserver, through a samba-mapped drive on a Win32 system. Not confused? OK, let's move on... ;-)
When I ask for an os.listdir() of a relevant directory, I get filenames with embedded escaped characters (ex. 'F07JS41C.04389525AA.UPR\xa6INR.E\xa6C-P.D11.081305.P2.KPF.model') which will read as "False" when applying an os.path.isfile() to it. I wish to apply some operations to these files, but am unable, since python (on Win32, at least) does not recognize this as a valid filename. Help me, before my thin veneer of genius is torn from my boss's eyes! ;-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
