[issue6208] path separator output ignores shell's path separator: / instead of \

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

That would mean that python's notion of which OS it was running on
(windows or cygwin) would have to change depending on which shell it was
lanched from. This affects far more than the path seperator, and as far
as I know is not practical with the current python design (you are
welcome to try to work up a patch, though).

If you want cygwin behavior from python, run the cygwin python.
