Georg Brandl added the comment: Can you point exactly where the "odd behavior" is? Note that "~" is a normal component for UNIX file/path names, and in such it has no special meaning (as opposed to "/").
This is why it gets no special handling by any Python path functions, except for expanduser(). That it is handled specially by the shell is no reason for Python to do the same. ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16877> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
