Hi -
It looks like Python 'os.path.commonprefix' returns the version including foo,
in your example.
I personally wonder if that should just be *string* commonprefix and if *path*
commonprefix should
return only whole path components.
Anybody have a sense for where this might be used - and if so, which
interpretation is
more likely to be useful? Or why the Python library is this way?
Thanks,

Hi!
My teammate and I are applying in this project for RGSoC this year.
We have worked on the commonPrefix function for the Path library and have
implemented it differently from what was originally proposed and would like to
discuss the same.
The function was originally proposed to take a list of strings (paths) as
input and return the longest common path prefix. Thus, if given a list of paths
like '/Users/foo.chpl', '/Users/foo.good' the function would return
'/Users/foo' which is not a valid path.
Instead, our implementation of the function returns only valid path
prefixes ('/Users' in this case).
So, we would like know how reasonable would this approach be and would it
be preferable to have both implementations?
Thanks,
Unnati and Prithvi
