OK, now I know more about glob than I ever wanted to! :) Basically it comes
down to this:
unix>>> os.path.split('\\')
('', '\\')
win32>>> os.path.split('\\')
('\\', '')
This is why \ is recognized as the root directory on Win32 and as a
non-existent file on Unix.
In case of / both Unix and Win32 treat it as a valid directory separator so
`os.path.split('/')` returns `('/', '')`. This is why / is recognized as the
root directory on both systems.
Does this answer your questions?
