W. Owen Parry added the comment:
I started working on a patch for this, but the more I think about it the less I
am convinced it is wanted.
The issue requests that os.listdir('') be equal to os.listdir('.')
The given example of os.path.join doesn't follow this:
>>> os.path.join('','aaa')
'aaa'
>>> os.path.join('.','aaa')
'.\\aaa'
This makes sense: prepending an empty path should be a no-op, while prepending
the current directory has a different meaning.
It seems consistent in this case that listing an empty path and listing the
current directory should have different meanings.
Is there any other traction/use case for this change?
