| Indeed. I believe this is why Python has os.sep.

Well, true, but if you were trying to enter a
particular file path as the OP was (c:\program files\ etc.)
would you really want to have "c:" + os.sep + "program files"...
or os.path.join ("c:", "program files"...)? And where do the
double-quotes go etc?

I'm not saying all these things aren't possible; my only
point is that rather than try to remember / work it out,
I generally try to avoid the issue.
