That would be a pretty big semantic change from Python <3000. e.g.
if sys.platform.startswith('win32'):
import win32api
def get_filesystem_roots():
return win32api.GetLogicalDrives()
else:
def get_filesystem_roots():
return ['/']
How do I statically determine if win32api is a global or not? Do I have
to declare it? Also, what happens in the presence of "exec" statements?
Cheers,
Brian
