This is an important point. You should read up on the os.path module to 
make sure you are doing things in a platform independent way, for 
example, its better to use:

   os.path.join('my', 'favorite', 'dir')

than

   "\\".join(['my', 'favorite', 'dir'])

because the latter will bonk on linux. The former is platform 
independent. This hits at the same issue as using os.sep:

   os.sep.join(['my', 'favorite', 'dir'])

But os.path has takes care of many of these issues in one module.
