convert string to raw string?

[Phd]

Hi,
I'm writing a regex related program that lets the user supplies the 
regex definition. Is there an easy way to convert a string into a raw 
string?

Cheers

how can I import a module without using pythonpath?

[Phd]

Hi,
I'm using python 2.2, I want to import a module by referring to its 
relative location. The reason for this is that there is another module 
with the same name that's already in pythonpath( not my decision, but I 
got to work around it, bummer). So is there any easy way to do it?

something like
import module "from this location"
Thanks!

import sys, os
sys.path.insert(0,os.path.abspath("relative path"))
import module
sys.path.remove(os.path.abspath("relative path"))

Re: from string to raw string

Hi,
I recently asked the same question, the response I got was that just use 
 the string. There is no raw string object so the conversion doesn't 
exist. As far as I know, I haven't run into any problem

Take a try. Please let me know if there is any problem with this approach.
Good luck

get from '\bblah' to r'\bblah' other than parsing the string and modifying 
the escapes?

I am interested in this for the use of regular expressions.  I would like to 
be able to accept re patterns as inputs either from a file or from a GUI 
tool and I would like to allow those inputs as regular strings and not force 
users to write patterns with double escapes.

I naively thought there could be utilities for such a conversion either in 
the string module or the StringIO module but I don't see any utilities like 
that.

So, any suggestions?
