Sorry, that won't work. Strings are parsed at compile time, open()

It could check for control characters, which are probably the result
of a backslash accident. Maybe even auto-correct them...
By "It", do you mean open() ? If so:
It already checks for control characters, at least with Python 2.7 on
Windows:
>>> open('mydir\test')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('r') or filename: 'mydir\test'
As for auto-correct (presumably "\a" to "\\a", "\b" to "\\b" etc.), I
hope you're not serious.
