Or alternatively, you'll upgrade to a newer Python and start getting warnings, which would at least tell you that there's a problem.
Or use r'...' strings. If you are copying a path to clipboard from Windows Explorer - a fairly common operation - it's much easier to prepend the "r" than to change all the backslashes to forward slashes.
