[issue27616] filedialog.askdirectory inconsistent on Windows between returning "C:/" and "C:/users" (no trailing slash)

[Grant Hillebrand]

New submission from Grant Hillebrand:

When running the following code on Windows 7 (64bit os), and selecting a root drive letter, eg C:, it returns "C:/", with a slash appended. When selecting any other path below root level, eg "C:/users" it returns "C:/users" - no slash appended. 
This then introduces an odd edge case in processing the output if the path is to be prepended to directory walk data and other file names.

>>> from tkinter import filedialog
>>> SourcePath = filedialog.askdirectory()
>>> print(SourcePath)
C:/
>>> SourcePath = filedialog.askdirectory()
>>> print(SourcePath)
C:/NVIDIA
