PyKeePass changes backslashes in raw string when parsed

[charlesvarthur]

I'm trying to reach a Keepass file, held on a network drive, however the Keepass module looks to have problems in handling the backslashes. I've tried a number of options including regex, replace, raw strings and os.path.join methods, to try and find a way to enable pykeepass to accept the string, but the output always changes.

The code:

key_loc = r'\\my-org\some-directory\KeePass\servers.kdbx'
print(key_loc)

kp = PyKeePass(key_loc, password='testing123')
dev_svr = kp.find_groups(name='my_server', first=True)
entry = kp.find_entries(title='my_user', first=True)

The output

\\my-org\some-directory\KeePass\servers.kdbx

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "kp-test.py", line 6, in <module>
    kp = PyKeePass(key_loc, password='testing123')
