I'm make attempt to switch all internal code to use '/'. It's not 
simply. Because in code often used os.path.* functions that return path 
with os.sep so you need every time after using this functions converts 
path to forward-slash-form. It make some overhead for windows.

Currently in code used os.path.abspath, os.path.normpath, 
os.path.realpath, os.path.join.

I think there is needs to use some class objects for path. That class 
will encapsulate all needed operation with paths inside: conversion, 
normalization, comparison, splitting, slicing and so on. This class 
should hide '/' vs '\' problem inside itself. IMHO.
