I wanted to see what unicode characters are at positions 57-58. To disable treating "\" as part of an escape sequence I used the "r" prefix to make this a "raw" string.

Output:
>>> x = r"DRIVER={SQLite3 ODBC Driver};SERVER=localhost;Database=C:\Users\GM\CALL_SIGN_DATABASE1.db;Trusted_connection=yes"
This modifies the str, replacing "\" with "\\".  This is how you tell Python that a backslash is just a backslash and not an escape sequence.
'DRIVER={SQLite3 ODBC Driver};SERVER=localhost;Database=C:\\Users\\GM\\CALL_SIGN_DATABASE1.db;Trusted_connection=yes'
>>> x[56:]
':\\Users\\GM\\CALL_SIGN_DATABASE1.db;Trusted_connection=yes'

x[57] is the backslash just before "Users".

Thank you...
