python windows下路径找不到文件或者图片

import os
image_path = "D:\Images\cat\test001.jpg"
if os.path.exists(image_path):
    print("image is exist...")
else
    print("image is not exist...")

image is not exist...

因为
image_path = “D:\Images\cat\test001.jpg”
字符串\test中有\t，被识别成转义字符。
image_path = “D:\Images\cat\newimage001.jpg”
字符串\newimage中有\n，也被识别成转义字符。

可以给\加转义符号\，写成\

image_path = "D:\\Images\\cat\\test001.jpg"

即可得到

image is exist…

或者

image_path = r"D:\Images\cat\test001.jpg"

也可以得到

image is exist…

又或者

image_path = os.path.join("D:\\", "Images", "cat", "test001.jpg")

也可以得到

image is exist…
