Python 3.4.1 script syntax error, arcpy &

Question

I am used to working in python 2.7 so there was some new things like the print function being different. So excuse my ignorance. I am also pretty new to programming.

Answer 1

Backslashes (used by you as Windows path separators) signal escape sequences in Python strings. Double the backslashes or use a raw string literal:

"F:\\Pro_Projects\\NAIP2013\\raster.sde"

or

r"F:\Pro_Projects\NAIP2013\raster.sde"

Windows also accepts forward slashes in paths, avoiding the issue altogether:

"F:/Pro_Projects/NAIP2013/raster.sde"
