backslash plague: paths containing "\a" somewhere

trying to work with a directory in windows, that has "\a" in the full
pathname
this works:
>>> c = string.replace('c:\content\ce\cw\cvd', '\\', '\\')
>>> c
'c:\\content\\ce\\cw\\cvd'
this doesn't:
>>> c = string.replace('c:\content\a\a\avd', '\\', '\\')
>>> c
'c:\\content\x07\x07\x07vd'
same goes for paths containing "\b"
what's the workaround?
thank you!
