SDK v2.4.0 - invalid `WEST_PYTHON` path in child images

[crzyrndm]

Just testing my projects against the v2.4.0 release and got this error during west configure

in "build/mcuboot/child_image_preload.cmake"

This error is visible in any child image

To replicate:

• Setup windows PC with SDK v2.4.0
• create a new application: "direction_finding_central" (any ble sample will do that builds on the nRF5340)
• create a build with the "nRF5340dk_nRF5340_cpuapp" board
• west configure will error when it gets to the net core image

NOTE:

The following warning is also present in the same configure log for both images. Not sure if important/related/...

Hi,

I have reproduced your issue and reported it to the developers. 

Do you get the same error when you call west from command line?

Best regards,

Is there any solution or workaround for this problem?   

I just switched to 2.4.0 and I'm having the same issue on windows.  I'm running west from a bash shell started in toolchain manager.

This thread has patches from zephyr to fix both problems.

Hi,

Here is relevant PR and commit which adjust WEST_PYTHON to posix path.
