When I create a subfolder, python is not seeing it. Can someone please
explain this behaviour ? I just started with python, read the tutorial over
the weekend and am writing my very first script. So I may not be seeing
something. Both os.path and glob.glob seem not to see a folder I created.

You can avoid all escaping by using raw strings:
mypath = rC:\enhancement\rawfiles\
Please note that the above is a well-known syntax error. A string
literal cannot end with a single backslash, as it escapes the closing
quote.

That does indeed work in most situations, but ideally (i.e. for maximum
code portability) paths should be constructed using os.path.join(), or
collected from the environment somehow.
Indeed. But I doubt a

The fact is that some strings are always going to cause trouble.
Unfortunately programming itself is a task that requires a little more
knowledge to be applied to the task. Just learn the rules and move on.
As a quick follow-up, I had intended to comment on the

Well, it's a wart that's shared with many other languages -

Even on Unix it shouldn't be a problem on most file systems to create a

Except that some commands (e.g. scp, rsync) will interpret the colon as
