I know you're not the only project out there that gets it wrong, but in my quest for something sensible I did test yours, so I thought I'd let you know. My search goes on!

Hi,

Thanks for looking into it, and filing a bug report. I've lost most of my interest in this now that I'm working almost entirely in Python 3 and pathlib exists, but pull requests are welcome!
