[issue10146] Incorrect regex generation in translate_pattern

[Noah Kantrowitz]

New submission from Noah Kantrowitz <noah+bugs.python.org at coderanger.net>:

If a prefix is passed to translate_pattern it will generate a pattern using the unescaped output of os.path.join(). This is fine on *nix, but on Windows it results in a pattern like r'build\.*', which matches any string starting with "build" (in my case, "buildout.cfg"). Escaping the separator fixes this (patch attached).
