The attached file 'manifest-test.zip' is a small distutils project that demonstrates a problem I have with the sdist command.

The archive contains a directory 'sandbox' that is not mentioned in MANIFEST.in or anywhere in setup.py. When I create an sdist using "python setup.py sdist" the sandbox directory is included in the archive.

This happens with 2.7 on Windows, while 2.7 on OSX does not have this behavior.

Can’t reproduce on POSIX (linux2) either.  Have you tested with 3.1, 3.2 and distutils2?

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.
