Just a note: Using a backslash in a non-raw string will get
you in trouble as soon as the backslash is followed by a
character which makes a special character sequence, like "\n".
For example,

f = open('d:\nice_filename.txt', 'a')

will give surprising results. :-) Either double the
backslash, use a raw string, or, in the special case of
file system paths, possibly use a forward slash.
