Amazing. Backslashes are listed as not one, but _two_ items on the list.

The problem is not with Python at all, it is with the MS-DOS foundations 
of Windows. When directory hierarchies were added in DOS 2.0, they used 
the wrong character, "\" instead of "/", as the directory separator.

I call this "DOSLexia", and it has afflicted DOS/Windows users ever 
since.
