Nick Coghlan added the comment: However, coming up with a way to detect that msys is in use, and publishing that information for use by applications like Mercurial, or creating a catalogue of which Windows APIs still don't accept forward slashes as path separators could help the issue progress.
There's just no magic fix we can apply at the interpreter or standard library level to make the problem go away - it's *precisely* the kind of problem that exists in the space between the "POSIX shell on Windows" provided by msys and the full POSIX API provided by Cygwin. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6208> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
