You expect this is creating a tuple (or so I see from your "in" test in
the following code), but in fact the parenthesis do *not* make a tuple.
If you look at ignored_dirs, you'll find it's just a string. It's the
presence of commas that signam a tuple. You need
ignored_dirs = (
r".\boost\include", # It's that comma that makes this a tuple.
)
