[New-bugs-announce] [issue37939] os.path.normpath change some characters of a path into kinda 'hex number'

[Yugi]

New submission from Yugi <manganh at gmail.com>:

I was trying to handle path to work on both '/' and '\' but when I tried to run the code like they said on: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3167154/how-to-split-a-dos-path-into-its-components-in-python
I have no idea why the terminal on my PC doesnt have the same output like everybody was discussing at the time the questions and answers were posted.
OS: ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Intel Core i5-7500, 16GB/1TB, Intel HD Graphics 630
python version: 3.5.2
I borrowed a mac pro 2015 to check if it had the same output like my PC but it had not. my friend has python 3.7.1 installed and the output is: ['d:\\stuff\\morestuff\\furtherdown\\THEFILE.txt'] (on my PC, it is: ['d:\\stuff\\morestuff\x0curtherdown\\THEFILE.txt']). I'm totally new to Python and I'm very sorry if this issue is already reported. Thank you!
