I have this: subdomain = raw_input('Enter subdomain name: ')
path = r'C:\Documents and Settings\John Salerno\My Documents\My Webs\1and1\johnjsalerno.com\' + subdomain Obviously the single backslash at the end of 'path' will cause a problem, and escaping it with a backslash seems to fix this problem, but how does escaping work when I already have it as a raw string? When I test it out and then print string, I get something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\John Salerno\My Documents\My Webs\1and1\johnjsalerno.com\\test But I don't see how this is valid, since all the backslashes are single (which is correct) except the last one. Somehow this still works when I tried to create the new directory -- os.mkdir(path) -- but I wasn't sure if this is the right way to go about it, or if there is some other, better way to handle the final backslash. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
