Os.path.join
I'm not able to see the bigger picture here i think; but basically I have no idea why you would use os.path.join? why wouldnt you just use a string or string concatenation?

Simple answers please im very new coming from a soley vbs world

The os module removes operating system dependencies.

os.path.sep on unix is '/' while on DOS is r'\'
os.path.join uses os.path.sep to build paths.

os.listdir(os.curdir)
has same effect whether on DOS, unix, or other system.


Use os.path.join for portable programs.

Wohoo! FINALLY I’ve been able to spot an error in b49P23TIvg’s postings!

Code:
>>> r'\'
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal


Using raw strings most of the special handling of \ is removed but a raw string still cannot end in a single \.
Comments on this post
b49P23TIvg agrees: <laughter>
