Until now I have been developing on a Windows 7 system. Recently i had to reset my entire dev enviromemt on a Windows XP system. My paver builds stopped working, i traced the reason for the failure to this bug. filled on paths.py [ https://github.com/dottedmag/path.py/issues/16 ].
Since paver is using a custom edited version of this file, the solution does not seem to be a simple 'update the paths.py module'. It also looks like there isnt a build of paver with the patch merged in.
Has someone else encountered this problem, whats the workaround that you came up with?
looks lke the only way out is to patch the Paver's path.py with this patch:
