Handle Backslash about dropbox-restore

[clark800]

It is just a string, so it should work fine with unix-style forward slashes. You may have to use quotes on the command line.

Here's my try, with little edits to mask the real path names

C:\Users\User123\Dropbox>python restore.py "C:/Users/User123/Dropbox/Materiale
WXYZ/asdasd asdasdas/3° Anno/Gestione Imprese" 2013-07-24

The path is supposed to be the dropbox path, not the local filesystem path. "/photos" is the path for the "photos" folder inside the dropbox folder.

I tried again, using
Materiale WXYZ/asdasd asdasdas/3\ufffd Anno/Gestione Imprese
but I got the same error.

I also tried
/Materiale WXYZ/asdasd asdasdas/3\ufffd Anno/Gestione Imprese
to no avail. Any idea?

Maybe it's the ° that's giving problems...

[clark800]

Looks like you have unicode characters in the directory name. I'm not sure if that will work. Sorry, I don't have time to work on this now.

[AgostinoSturaro]

Yup, will using linux help with that, or is this a Python 2.7 problem?

[clark800]

It is probably due to python 2.7. I changed a couple of things to make the code compatible with python3 since python3 does everything in unicode. Try running it with python3 and let me know if it works.

Sorry, I could not test this because this installer doesn't seem to recognize my Python 3.3.2 installation
setuptools-0.9.8.win-amd64-py3.2.‌exe
Says "Python version 3.2 required, which was not found in the registry."

I asked the author and I'm waiting. Any idea?
