Hi!

You have a few options:

1) double up your \ like 'c:\\path\\to\\file'
2) use raw string like r'c:\path\to\file'
3) use 'c:/path/to/file' as paython will do the right thing.

The reason for the problems is that the \ character in python is the
escape character (for getting litteral values like \0xff).

Hope this helps,
Krys
