[issue34186] [3.6.6 on macOS] os.listdir replacing "/" with ":"

[Zachary Ware]

Zachary Ware <zachary.ware at gmail.com> added the comment:

That's nothing to do with Python and everything to do with macOS.  As a test, open Terminal, do `ls ~/Example`, and you'll see `AC:DC` instead of `AC/DC`.  As a further test, do `mkdir ~/Example/dir:with:colons` and then have a look in Finder.
