Ah, thank you for the link. I looked for something like that, but I obviously 
didn’t use the right wording while searching. 

Sorry for the false report and thanks for the quick help.

That's nothing to do with Python and everything to do with macOS.  As a test, 
open Terminal, do `ls ~/Example`, and you'll see `AC:DC` instead of `AC/DC`.  
As a further test, do `mkdir ~/Example/dir:with:colons` and then have a look in 
Finder.

[issue34186] [3.6.6 on macOS] os.listdir replacing "/" with ":"

[Todd]

New submission from Todd :

Short back story - I am organizing music where "/" appears in a lot a metadata 
for the songs. For instance, the artist "AC/DC" or "ACDC w/ Axl Rose". On 
macOS, it is acceptable to name a folder "AC/DC" while the slash would cause an 
issue in Windows.

Issue - While using os.listdir to list a number of artist folders inside my 
iTunes music folder os.listdir replaced "/" with ":" IF the "/" appears in the 
name itself. It does not replace the slash delimiters. 

I have included a screen shot. On the right side of the image is an example 
directory I made with a few folders. Two of the folders have "/" in their 
names.  On the left side of the image is the Python shell showing the use of 
os.listdir along with the output. You'll notice that the listed directories 
don't include "/", but instead include ":".
