   Foreword: please be advised that backslash is a special character for
the Python interpreter (nad for many others). So DOUBLE backslashes that
you pass to compiler/interpreter.
   Now to the tas. It's easy:

s = "C:/Windows/MustDie"
print s.replace('/', '\\') # note double backslash

This solution requires Python 2.0+. For 1.5.2 use string.replace(s, '/', '\\')

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
