[Scons-users] SCons 3.0.0.alpha.20170614 available on testpypi

[RW]

I think I've spotted another bug
I've recently tried to use fixtures in a test I'm working on (python27 /
win10)
This should use a sub directory of "image" relative to the test calling it,
but seems to fail
```
test.dir_fixture('image')
```

Using a test already in the sources that uses test.dir_fixture to
demonstrate
Runs okay under 2.5.1, but fails under 3.0 alpha
```
python runtest.py
test\packaging\convenience-functions\convenience-functions.py
```

Failure message
```
(testenv) D:\SourceControl\GitRepos\scons>python runtest.py
test\packaging\convenience-functions\convenience-functions.py
1/1 (100.00%)
D:\\SourceControl\\GitRepos\\scons\\testenv\\Scripts\\python.exe -tt
test\packaging\convenience-functions\convenience-functions.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test\packaging\convenience-functions\convenience-functions.py",
line 36, in <module>
    test.dir_fixture( "image" )
  File "D:\SourceControl\GitRepos\scons\QMTest\TestCmd.py", line 1325, in
dir_fixture
    for entry in os.listdir(spath):
WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified:
'\\SourceControl\\GitRepos\\scons\\test\\fixture\\image/*.*'
```

If I use a absolute directory path within the call to test.dir_fixture then
this seems to work okay

Many Thanks
Richard
