You have a quoting problem here, this could be "\\", but what
you actually need is :
> 		destFile = open(os.path.join(dirname,name),'w') 
This is the portable way to build paths.

For the quoting problem can be spotted if you use a text editor
with syntax highlighting since the string wasn't closed.
