This monkey-patches the private `os.path._get_sep` function used by `os.path.join` to handle paths that start with "gs://". If a path starts with "gs://", we ignore the OS separator and return "/" as the separator to use.

This monkey-patches the private
os.path._get_sepfunction used byos.path.jointo handle paths that start with "gs://". If a path starts with "gs://", we ignore the OS separator and return "/" as the separator to use.Background info
For example in the
pretrained_optimizers.pyfile,os.path.joinis used to concat strings for thegs://URIs (one example).This will cause issues on Windows machines because there, URIs are concatenated with "".
Since I understand monkey-patching is always quite fickle, I can also replace all
os.path.joinusages with a new method that uses'/'.join(paths)for "gs://" paths instead.
