Then this isn't an argparse issue. Probably not even a Python one. The windows shell (which one? cmd.exe? power? some batch) is making the substitution. I see lots of discussion about Windows use of backslash, both as directory separator and escape. None seems to exactly apply. For your application the use of a custom 'type' function might well be appropriate, but it's not something we want to add to argparse. It's a user specific patch. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39845> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
