[Docutils-develop] [docutils:bugs] Re: #434 Error when running the test suite for Docutils on Windows 10.

[PotentialUser-54 <pot...@us...>]

Hi Günter,

I ran the tests again, and it works perfectly now. (On Python 2) Thanks for the quick fix!

```pwsh
PS D:\<redacted>\docutils-code-r8892-trunk> python docutils/test/alltests.py
Testing Docutils 0.18.1b.dev with Python 2.7.18 on 2021-11-18 at 21:04:09
OS: Windows 10 10.0.19041 (win32, Windows-10-10.0.19041)
Working directory: D:\<redacted>\docutils-code-r8892-trunk\docutils\test
Docutils package: D:\<redacted>\docutils-code-r8892-trunk\docutils\docutils

Ran 1466 tests in 7.142s

OK (skipped=4)
Elapsed time: 8.299 seconds
```

However, on Python 3, it fails with 

```pwsh
PS D:\<redacted>\docutils-code-r8892-trunk> py docutils/test/alltests.py
Unable to create process using '/bin/sh docutils/test/alltests.py'
```

With both Python version 3.9.6 and 3.10.0 (the later is a new install).

I also tried using backslashes instead of forwardslashes, adding `./` or `.\` before the path, however everything gives the same error.

Running the test suite for Docutils on Windows 10 using [the instructions](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/README.html#running-the-test-suite) fails.

As instructed, I am now opening this bug report after checking that there is not already one.
