Are you sure you have double `'\\'` ? It could be just how the debugger shows it to you... — Henk Holterman, Mar 29 '18 at 12:37
Please post code since there is some ambiguity in what you're asking. — , Mar 29 '18 at 12:57

You might want to look at Python’s os.path module

Though if you would like to replace \\ with \, please do something like,

str = "C:\\tmp\\files\\file.xxx";
print str;

Output of above code will be,

C:\tmp\files\file.xxx

I've tested this code over here and it is working.
