I am sorry but i cant help it notice the pain and suffering Windows users run into using python when dealing with paths.
Python returns path to file/folder with forward slash instead of backslash as it should because backslash is an escape character.
I dont know what made the developer think using backslash as an escape character is a good idea except that they must be Linux users.
In any event, escape character needs to be changed to something more rarely used, something like |
If this was the case, problem converting forward slash to backslash would not exist. There would be no need for processing the string in order to get desired result.
How hard is it to change it ? I am sure no one is going to listen to any of my logical suggestions so i want to know if i can change it my self and just create a new branch of python calling it a wython for windows users or something.
Thanks !
