[Tutor] Puzzled again

[Richard D. Moores]

Puzzled again. Why the error. Line 36 is the line just above "import
os.path". I have many other functions in mycalc.py with examples
formatted exactly the same way.

def convertPath(path):
    """
    Given a path with backslashes, return that path with forward slashes.

    By Steven D'Aprano  07/31/2011 on Tutor list
    >>> path = r'C:\Users\Dick\Desktop\Documents\Notes\College Notes.rtf'
    >>> convertPath(path)
    'C:/Users/Dick/Desktop/Documents/Notes/College Notes.rtf'
    """
    import os.path
    separator = os.path.sep
    if separator != '/':
        path = path.replace(os.path.sep, '/')
    return path

>>> from mycalc import convertPath
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 36, in <fragment>
Syntax Error: """: c:\Python32\lib\site-packages\mycalc.py, line 36-1
>>>

What solved the problem and what didn't:

This doesn't work:

def convertPath(path):
    """
    Given a path with backslashes, return that path with forward slashes.

    By Steven D'Aprano  07/31/2011 on Tutor list

    >>> path = r'C:\Users\Dick\Desktop\Documents\Notes\College Notes.rtf'
    >>> convertPath(path)
    #'C:/Users/Dick/Desktop/Documents/Notes/College Notes.rtf'
    """
    import os.path
    separator = os.path.sep
    if separator != '/':
        path = path.replace(os.path.sep, '/')
    return path

Nor this:

def convertPath(path):
    """
    Given a path with backslashes, return that path with forward slashes.

    By Steven D'Aprano  07/31/2011 on Tutor list

    #>>> path = r'C:\Users\Dick\Desktop\Documents\Notes\College Notes.rtf'
    #>>> convertPath(path)
    #'C:/Users/Dick/Desktop/Documents/Notes/College Notes.rtf'
    """
    import os.path
    separator = os.path.sep
    if separator != '/':
        path = path.replace(os.path.sep, '/')
    return path

But this does:

def convertPath(path):
    """
    Given a path with backslashes, return that path with forward slashes.

    By Steven D'Aprano  07/31/2011 on Tutor list
    """
    #>>> path = r'C:\Users\Dick\Desktop\Documents\Notes\College Notes.rtf'
    #>>> convertPath(path)
    #'C:/Users/Dick/Desktop/Documents/Notes/College Notes.rtf'
    import os.path
    separator = os.path.sep
    if separator != '/':
        path = path.replace(os.path.sep, '/')
    return path
