Looking at the code, I am not sure it is working the way you think. path.Dir will just split at / if I understand things correctly and filepath.Path is much more sophisticated and I am surprised that this is not working correctly.

I don't have a Windows machine, but the code change looks suspicious.

@aignas the same issue I have fixed here. My initial approach was to use cfgs[filepath.FromSlash(rel)] but a more targeted fix was proposed in this comment.

Basically, it fails because pythonconfig.go#ParentForPackage delegates to filepath.Dir(pkg) to replace the separator character "\" with "/", hence for a 2-levels deep path, e.g. rootDir\nestedDir1\nestedDir2, a parent is searched with "/" (rootDir/nestedDir1) but Configs contains a key with "\" (rootDir\nestedDir1).

Ah, I see, thanks for the context, it was much needed here. Could you please rebase and add Changelog notes to the Changelog.md please?

EDIT: Would it be possible to add a test for this?

dir = ""
