It should be.

Did you read my other recent post? You should define strings with 
backslashes in them such are your file path as 'raw strings', which 
start with r' or r" instead of a plain quote character. Raw strings do 
not interpret \x escapes. In particular your path above has a '\a' in 
it, which is not a backslash followed by an "a", it is a BEL character.

That said, I can't see what's wrong with your original example which has 
no backslashes.
