Fixes an issue when opening local files in Windows, where filepaths are loaded with the format:
C:\some\path\to\a\file.jpg
Whereas they are required to be of the format:
C:/some/path/to/a/file.jpg
Without this change,
safe_open
throws aURLError
(file not found) inurllib.open_local_file
Please note: This has only been tested on Windows.
