M-x customize-variable RET py-separator-char

should direct you into a menu where you might fill in the char as shown attached.

That's how I did it. In the space available, I typed "/" (without the quotes), and that's what caused problems. It gets the separator right if I set py-separator-char to 47 instead (the output of (string-to-char "/"), but it seems like it's a lot easier for users just to type "/".

If it doesn't work, need a bug report

Agree a string it's easier to read. We got a bug from that however, which I don't see now.

Willing to change though with purpose of legibility if possible though - just happy it works for the moment.
