[Tutor] creating a tab delimited filename

[jrlen balane]

how would i make this the correct path:
filename = "%s%s.txt" %('C:\Documents and Settings\nyer\My
Documents\Info',time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M"))
table_file = open(os.path.normpath(filename),"a")

running on IDLE, i get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python23/practices/serialnewesttes3.py", line 65, in -toplevel-
    table_file = open(os.path.normpath(filename),"a")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Documents and
Settings\nyer\\My Documents\\Info200503161153.txt'

it seems that it adds "\".
