Convert backward slash to forward slash in python

Question

Hi I have read articles related converting backward to forward slashes. But sol was to use raw string.

But Problem in my case is :

I will get file path dyna

Answer 1

Don't do this. Just use os.path and let it handle everything. You should not explicitly set the forward or backward slashes.

>>> var=r'C:\dummy_folder\a.txt'
>>> var.replace('\\', '/')
'C:/dummy_folder/a.txt'

But again, don't. Just use os.path and be happy!
