You can use the os module to build path names in a platform-independent
manner. On my Linux box, I can type
>>> BASE = '/'
>>> import os
>>> os.path.join(BASE, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz')
'/foo/bar/baz'
On a Windows machine, you get
>>> BASE = 'C:'
>>> import os
>>> os.path.join(BASE, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz')
'C:\\foo\\bar\\baz'
This is a little more cumbersome that just typing the string, but using
os.path.join makes it easy to port your scripts to a new platform.
Check out http://docs.python.org/lib/module-os.path.html for more
information.
