[Tutor] How to replace the '\'s in a path with '/'s?

I would like to write a function that would take a path such as
'C:\Users\Dick\Desktop\Documents\Notes\College Notes.rtf'
and return 'C:/Users/Dick/Desktop/Documents/Notes/College Notes.rtf' . I've
tried this:

def test(path):
   return path.replace('\', '/')

print(test('C:\Users\Dick\Desktop\Documents\Notes\College Notes.rtf'))

gets me

File "c:\P32Working\untitled-5.py", line 2
   return path.replace('\', '/')
                               ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
Process terminated with an exit code of 1

Thanks,

Dick
