Backslashes in Windows filepath? [duplicate]

Question

When setting a string to a filepath in Python for WIndows, does it need to be formatted as:

C:\\Users\\

Or do escapes not apply on Windows? My script is currently giving me something like "Non-ASCII character" at the line import os, so I can't really test this.

Answer 1

Try adding an "r", do as below:

path = r"C:\mypaht\morepaht\myfie.file"
