Hi Travis,
You want to use forward slashes with your file names. Backslashes are
used for special character commands, such as "/t" for <tab>, etc.
For Windows:
c:/aFolder/testDocument.txt
For Unix / Linux
/aFolder/testDocument.txt
If you need a relative path, with no drive specified (for Windows), use:
/aFolder/testDocument.txt
Hope this helps,
Byron

I am trying to copy files from one directory into another using
shutil.copy. I am having a problem getting a usable path using
os.path.abspath because it doesnt return a string with the extra
backslashes and i was wondering if there was a better system call to use?
I am also looking for a system call so there wont be a problem between windows and
unix.
