Splunk Search

How to use Source via Python SDK

Hi,

I am using python scripting to connect with splunk and my python script automatically uploads new files added in a folder with same index. Now when i have to search for all files under same index, it's easy as "search index="testindex"
but if i want to only search within a specific file of same index i have to use search index="testindex" source=d:\\splunk\\file.csv.

Now when i am trying to implement this using python sdk, python automatically converts "\\"in to "\" and thus splunk does not give any result. Please help me what changes need to be done to fix this issue.

How can i add extra "\" in path of source or else how can the search query be parsed without extra "\" in source path.
