Re: [Fab-user] put() question

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi Jeff,

While I can't speak to Windows specific issues, I think this may
actually be simpler -- try slapping an 'r' before your Windows file
path string, i.e. r'c:\blah.txt'. I think what's happening is the "\b"
is turning into a backspace or similar, since backslash is used for
string escapes. (see also \n, \t etc).

Using raw strings, r"my string here", should eliminate most of that
escaping related behavior.

Best,
Jeff
