Error while getting a file path using a dialog in PyQt

Question

I am using a dialog to get a filename path. I have managed to get it running and saving it to a local variable but Qt does not return the file path written in the pythonic way.

My cood is simple as that:

    u = str( QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName())

but it returns me something like this:

C:/Artur/PC/Trabalho Darlan/

instead

C:\Artur\PC\Trabalho Darlan\

I have tried to replace / for \ with no success. What should I do?

os.path.normpath.

Qt returns all paths using / as the separator.

You can use the abspath() method:

os.path.abspath(u)

Or the toNativeSeparators method provided by Qt's QDir:

QDir.toNativeSeparators(u)
