No, it is not related with "\\?\" but I'm pointing out that normpath() isn't very useful because of that. And Windows has symlink support nowadays :-) For the record, I'm trying to build a saner path-handling library at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pathlib/ . I hope to propose it for inclusion in 3.4. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15286> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
