[Scons-dev] Question about .../SCons/Platform/win32.py

[anatoly techtonik]

Hi Rocco,

Sorry for a long delay. It took time to dig this, which was:

1. open https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/src/tip/src/engine/SCons/Platform/win32.py?at=default
2. hit blame button
3. look through
https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/commits/99b456bb216afb8eee1e49a0002534d2bf37fb65
4. search for Windows
5. find reference to issue 1721

It may worth checking the issue thread to get the details and see if that
is already fixed. It would help to provide a better test and to issue on
http://bugs.python.org if behavior is confirmed.
