Well, I have decided to build a tool to help us sync files in UNC paths. I am just building the modules and classes right now so I haven't developed the frontend yet. I am assuming when the user provides a path (either by typing it in, or pulling it in from a config file), the UNC slashes are going to escape stuff in the string, so I want to double them up. I understand if the best way is to convert all the slashes to double- slashes. But the 'r' function seemed so handy and convenient. I am very new to Python, but not at all to programming.
