Hey thanks!, both the raw and the double backslashes worked. You are a

It works out fine because I can make each backslash doubles so it doesn't
mess stuff up. So if I could take the path varible and make ever "\" into a
"\\" then it would also work.
Did I clarify?

I don't think you understand it doesn't matter how the variable gets there,
the same code is run regardless, I have no problem with the GUI, but you
asked, and so I told you. the code os.startfile( is run if there is a
GUI or it is a console app.

Okay, so as a response to all of you, I will be using the Entry() widget in
Tkinter to get this path. and the repr() function just makes all my
backslashes 4 instead of just 1, and it still screwes it up with the numbers
and parenthesis is has been since the first post. Oh and I know all about

this is very simplified, but that is the idea, and basically exactly what
will happen, just if the path has some of those characters that conflict
with the \.

Hi All
I am wondering what I can do to turn a python app (.py) into a mac OSX
applicaiton (.app). Just like py2exe does. But I am also wondering since in
your applications folder on macs it usually doesn't have an actual folder
for each app. Rather an icon. so for firefox, you just see the icon.
