Even if I give the file path as below

file = ur'\\?\C:\TestDataSet\DeepPaths
\DeepPathLevel01\DeepPathLevel02\DeepPathLevel03\DeepPathLevel04\DeepPathLevel05\DeepPathLevel06\DeepPathLevel07\DeepPathLevel08\DeepPathLevel09\DeepPathLevel10\DeepPathLevel11\DeepPathLevel12\DeepPathLevel13\DeepPathLevel14\DeepPathLevel15\DeepPathLevel16\DeepPathLevel172.txt'

I am still getting the exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\JPDump\test.py", line 29, in <module>
    renameStubs(file)
  File "C:\JPDump\test.py", line 12, in renameStubs
    os.chdir (path)
WindowsError: [Error 206] The filename or extension is too long: u'\\\

\DeepPathLevel11\\DeepPathLevel12\\DeepPathLevel13\\DeepPathLevel14\

Please help..
