Nope, you just lucked out by using a different string.
the problem with using a backslash is that it normally an instruction to
the source translator to construct special characters. Because your
previous directory name included tools, you had a sequence with a
backslash followed by a lower case t. That is shorthand for a tab
(ASCII 9). As Peter Hansen tells you in another note, you can use
an r directly before the string to tell the source translator to
"treat backslashes as regular characters." So, you'll notice that,
for example, 'abc\tex' != r'abc\tex', but 'abc\Tex' == r'abc\Tex',
because '\t' is the tab character, not '\T'.
