The path is exactly the same, whether you use forward slashes or
backslashes, on Windows. Most of the world uses backslashes for
Windows paths, but forward slashes do work fine (and that's not a
Python thing - the underlying APIs work with / just fine too). So you
don't have to actually replace anything.
