adding string in others

I have a string like script = "C:\Users\dell\byteyears.py". I wanna put the string "Python27\" in between the string like script = "C:\Users\dell\Python27\byteyears.py. Why I need is because build_scripts is not running correctly on the windows. Anyway, how can I do this wish in time efficient way ?

EDIT : I will not print anything. String is stored on the script variable in the build_scripts

  script = convert_path(script)

I should put something to convert it, like

  script = convert_path(script.something("Python27/"))

The question is that what something should be.

os.path is best for dealing with paths, also forward slashes are ok to use in Python.

In [714]: script = r"C:/Users/dell/byteyears.py"
In [715]: head, tail = os.path.split(script)
In [716]: os.path.join(head, 'Python27', tail)
Out[716]: 'C:/Users/dell/Python27/byteyears.py'

in a module.

import os
script = r"C:/Users/dell/byteyears.py"
head, tail = os.path.split(script)
newpath = os.path.join(head, 'Python27', tail)
print newpath

gives

'C:/Users/dell/Python27/byteyears.py'

internally Python is in general agnostic about the slashes, so use forward slashes "/" as they look nicer and save having to escape.

Try:

from os.path import abspath
script = "C:\\Users\\dell\\byteyears.py"
script = abspath(script.replace('dell\\', 'dell\\Python27\\'))

Note: Never forget to escape \ when working with strings!

And if you're mixing / and \ then you'd better use abspath() to correct it to your platform!

Other ways:

print "C:\\Users\\dell\\%s\\byteyears.py" % "Python27"

or if you want the path to be more dynamic, this way you can pass a empty string:

print "C:\\Users\\dell%s\\byeyears.py" % "\\Python27"

Also possible:

x = "C:\\Users\\dell%s\\byeyears.py"
print x
x = x % "\\Python27"
print x

import os
os.path.join(script[:script.rfind('\\')],'Python27',script[script.rfind('\\'):])
