Craig Sawyer <csaw...@yumaed.org> added the comment: Antoine,
I see your point about getcwd() not having symlinks, doesn't mean any path outside of getcwd() might have symlinks, and I agree this is true. I apologize. As for which one to choose, it should choose based on PWD (i.e. the current working directory's parent directories). I'd love to see something like os.path.abspath(path, logical=True) which would use PWD instead of getcwd() to get the current working directories path. i.e. symlinks are honored within the current path. From a language perspective this probably means needing os.getpwd() or something similar, that would return the pwd information. I know pwd isn't always guaranteed to be around, so the failsafe should be to return getcwd() in that case, just like os.path.abspath() does now. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14550> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
