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.
