path can be case sensitive in windows, resulting No obfuscated script found on error

[ohadcn]

OS: windows server 2022
python: 3.10
pyarmor version: 7.7.4
pyinstaller version: 5.8.0

I don't know if we should consider this a bug or just leave it here for other people experiencing this behavior to know.
When running pyarmor.exe pack in windows path is case sensitive.
I could only reproduce this from python, not from command line (I have a python script to compile my project).

C:\work>python
>>> from subprocess import check_output
>>> open("c:\work\hello.py", "rt").read()
'print("Hello World")'
>>> #------------ run with lowercase path fails
>>> check_output(r"C:\Python310\Scripts\pyarmor.exe pack hello.py", cwd=r"c:\work", shell=True)

For my 2 cents...

>>> open("c:\work\hello.py", "rt").read()

you shouldn't use \ regardless...

>>> open("c:/work/hello.py", "rt").read()

If you do you use r

>>> open(r"c:\work\hello.py", "rt").read()

this example is only intended to show the file content, and aren't part of my script...

Yes. Path is case sensitive even in Windows. I think this is not a big problem and didn't change it because linux and macOS are case sensitive.
