I still don't understand what you mean by that, because there's no
concept of "escaping" with these slashes. It looks like you're
actually working with absolute paths (starting with the leading slash)
when you want to work with relative paths (NOT starting with a leading
slash). The double slash isn't "escaping" anything, to my knowledge,
and Python would not add it.

>From the look of things, you really are getting a valid absolute path
- "/image01.tif" is already absolute. It just isn't the path you want.
