I think I just found some issue with make-temp-file.
While this function does the right thing, it seems on Windows it
returns the path with forward slashes instead of backward ones.
From what I can see from this bug report[0], this is happening right
now on Windows:
(make-temp-file "test")
=> C:/Windows/Temp/test3044XRQ
While this should be:
(make-temp-file "test")
=> C:\Windows\Temp\test3044XRQ
Is this intended or is it a bug?
If it is intended, is it a portable way I could translate the slashes correctly?
Thanks in advance,

It is intended, as it is normal for filenames to be represented that way
internally in Emacs.

convert-standard-filename will work as long as the user is not using a
Cygwin shell. You could start by assuming that if they use a Cygwin
shell they will also use a Cygwin port of python, and if users complain
fine tune the solution further.
