change directory in python

from PIL import Image
import os

for f in os.listdir('C:\Users\diodi\Pictures'):
    if f.endswith('.jpg'):
        print(f)

i get the error

for f in os.listdir('C:\Users\diodi\Pictures'): ^ SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

if someone can edit the error message please do.

The backslashes are being parsed as escape characters, use r to denote raw string

os.listdir(r"C:\Users\diodi\Pictures"):

Or escape them with more backslashes

os.listdir('C:\\Users\\diodi\\Pictures'):
