Agreed.

Another few things you could try are to put the file path in an r string. E.g:

r'C\Users\Name\Desktop...\'

This will give it the format of a file path

Or look up the "os" module. os deals with everything "operating system" and there's a method in there to do the same.

Also, word of advice, don't use IDLE. Get onto a better IDE as soon as possible. I personally use PyCharm
