Nice!

I went with


import os.path
import re

def convertPath(path):
    separator = os.path.normpath("/")
    if separator != "/":
        path = re.sub(re.escape(separator), "/", path)

    return path



path=r'C:\Users\Dick\Desktop\Documents\Notes\College Notes.rtf'

print(convertPath(path))

"""
