Problems with Python for Windows extensions

[KK]

thx for ur reply
u r rite that i should use a raw string, but that doesn't solve the
problem
i am q annoyed by this strange behaviour.
i tried to run the script on my friend's pc, which is python2.4 + pywin
204 + office 2000, but same thing happened

now i am thinking to generate a vbs from python and run it. i know it
is dumb but i dont know other solutions...
