New submission from Bastian Kleineidam <[email protected]>:
Python 2.7 on Windows converts the URL path '/C|/' to a naked drive letter 'C:'.
C:\src>c:\Python27\python.exe -c "import urllib;print
urllib.url2pathname('/C|/')"
C:
C:\src>
Expected and I believe the correct output would be C:\, not C:. Reason is that
a naked drive letter C: means "current directory in drive C:", whereas C:\
means "root directory in drive C:". So if you happen to start your application
in "C:\src" for example, the output "C:" is interpreted as "C:\src", not as
"C:\".
