How to convert a '\' path to '\\'

I'm coding a software in python and I'm trying to convert a windows path with \ like C:\Program Files\KiCad\7.0\bin to a path with \\ C:\\Program Files\\KiCad\\7.0\\bin so that it will be recognized as a path by python in send in a subprocess. Run command.

I tried Path () from pathlib; OS. Path. Normpath () but it doesn't work...

Solution

Below function takes a path as parameter and prints all filenames with absolute path with double \\. It's pretty simple.

def get_absolutePath_for_all_file(path):
    for filename in os.listdir(path):
        abs_path = os.path.join(path, filename)
        abs_path = abs_path.replace('\\','\\\\')
        print(abs_path)

path = r'C:\Users\mdmsarke\Desktop\MS_Data\Developer\GES_Survey\FY_22_23'
get_absolutePath_for_all_file(path)

Output:

C:\\Users\\mdmsarke\\Desktop\\MS_Data\\Developer\\GES_Survey\\FY_22_23\\future_contact_information
