[rappy]

New submission from rappy:

In bug.py print gives

['C:\\Users\\Glenn\\Desktop', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python27.zip', C:\\Python27\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python27\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Users\\Glenn\\Documents\\ua\\mosis\x07ssignment6']

What it should give is

['C:\\Users\\Glenn\\Desktop', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python27.zip', C:\\Python27\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python27\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Users\\Glenn\\Documents\\ua\\mosis\assignment6']
