> Of the three approaches, regex, cd, or decoration, which do you see as most likely to be accepted?
In my limited experience, I think the patch most likely to be accepted is the one that changes existing code the least. That would mean adding to the practices you're observing, unfortunately. Personally, I would go with trying to use test.support.temp_cwd() and doing an exact string match (since it provides a more precise test) -- taking appropriate cross-platform measures as necessary.

You're welcome. I'm in the same boat as you, so I know how it feels.
