[issue9691] sdist includes files that are not in MANIFEST.in

[Nadeem Vawda]

Nadeem Vawda <nadeem.vawda at gmail.com> added the comment:

This happens because the glob-to-regexp translator assumes that the
directory separator is "/", regardless of platform. Consequently, the
regexp for "include *.py" ends up matching "sandbox\dummy.py" erroneously
on Windows.

The problem is currently being discussed in issue 6884; I'm marking this
issue as a duplicate.
