os.unlink on Windows

[Shambhu]

Hi Thomas,

           I checked, file is present. Here is my sample script:
import os
filename = "C:\SHAMBHU\tmp\text_delete.txt"
os.unlink(filename)

File "C:\SHAMBHU\tmp\text_delete.txt" is accessible but "C:\\SHAMBHU\
\tmp\\text_delete.txt" is not (with extra backslash in path which is
added by os.unlink).

Regards.
Shambhu.
