Hmm, what you call special treatment<g> comes from pythons deep underlying C
and C++ language heietidge I presume. A backslash in a C or C++ string means
the following character is a so called escape character, like \n represents
a newline and \r a return to the beginning of a line.
If you really want a backslash you need to type it twice like so \\. Has
nothing to do with Windows...;-))
