That's good to know. Do you have any specific examples?

CreateFile and the like, which is where my experience is, take either. 
90% of my Windows Python programs use slashes exclusively. About the 
only time I get a backslash is when using os.path.join(), and then I end 
up with mixed slashes and backslashes. Windows handles these mixed paths 
correctly, as far as I can tell.
