This will work even on systems that do not accept forward slashes as

Yes, but only just. Python still includes support for VMS, at least for now;
support is scheduled to be dropped in 3.3 and code supporting it to be
removed in 3.4.

Perhaps I misremember, but I thought somebody had stepped forward to keep OpenVMS support going?
