Further to my previous question, I'd like to understand why python has
this seemingly strange behaviour.

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.sep
'\\'
>>> os.getcwd()
'C:\\00Doc\\NT'
>>> os.sep='/'
>>> os.sep
'/'
>>> os.getcwd()
'C:\\00Doc\\NT'

It seems to be counterintuitive that after setting os.sep to '/'
you still get the separator as '\\' when you called other os modules.
Cheers,
