I wouldn't expect it to.  cmd.exe doesn't treat \ as an escape
character because CP/M chose to use \ as the path separator.

However, if the user is using bash (cygwin), then they would need to
escape the backslashes since bash does interpret it as an escape
character.

Windows C library does accept '/' as a path separator (eg fopen())
so perhaps using / with cmd.exe would work, and probably using / with
cygwin's python.exe would work.

Hmm, the original report there looks like the user is using
bash and the win32 python.exe.

I think some more testing with those various combinations is needed to
verify that the original issue is really resolved.
