Hello just to signal a problem.

GLib.DIR_SEPARATOR_S on raspbian gives "\\" in place of "//".

and GLib.DIR_SEPARATOR gives 92 number.

Several bugs are reported for this:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749636

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757284

The short answer is, these constants are broken in introspected language bindings so don't use them. For example, in Python use the os.path module and in _javascript_ use GLib.build_filenamev() or Gio.File.
