Backslashes ("\") need escaping as you suggest, but forward slashes ("/")
have no special semantics inside string literals, and can therefore be used
without any escaping. In *most* (but, annoyingly, not quite all) contexts,
your Windows Python programs can use forward slashes instead of backward
ones inside paths, and still be perfectly well understood. This is how the
original poster was handling the problem.

Nice to see a newbie jumping in to help, though. Your instincts are fine.
Keep up the good work!
