title: (Python) Issues with directories that have special characters
body: <ul>
  <li>OS: Windows server 03</li>
  <li>Python ver: 2.7</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>For the code below, its runs fine when I substitute "fuchida@domain.com" with "fuchida". If I use the email format for directory name I get the following error "<strong>WindowsError: [Error 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect:</strong>" . Please let me know what I can do to get this to work, my money is on the "@" symbol fudging things up but I do not know how to resolve it in python so far. </p>
  
  <pre><code>import os
  
  def dirListing():
      dirList = os.listdir("C:\\Program Files\home\Server\Logs\fuchida@domain.com")
      for fname in dirList:
          print fname
      return
  
  def main():
      dirListing()
  
  if __name__ == '__main__':main()
  </code></pre>
