Hm, i don't know... running normpath over each path constant after it has been build?:

bd = "/path/to/some/thing/"
MEDIA = bd + "/extended/path/"
MEDIA = os.path.normpath(MEDIA)

Looks like the programmer doesn't trust himself :-D

I have added a task for updating the encyclopedia to https://wl.widelands.org/wiki/ReleasingWidelands/

Nevertheless we should have a hint for the DISPLAY problem. The easiest way would be to modify the error message from:

"Error: Unable to execute 'wl_map_object_info' for generating the JSON files."

to:

"Error: Unable to execute 'wl_map_object_info' for generating the JSON files. Have you exported DISPLAY = ':1' before running update_help?"
