Difference python 2 and 3

1

Hi
I notice there is a difference in the way that a specific path can be adressed between python 2 and 3. Underneath a printscreen with error.
What Am I doing wrong?

you have to use r before your strings to path.
like that:

path = r"C:\temp"

Hi @wouter.hilhorst - the r stipulating raw strings does work in IronPython2 also :slight_smile:
