Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
I think the doc should be considered correct and posixpath buggy. The ntpath
code checks for the existence of HOME and substitutes before returning the arg
unchanged, as documented.
if 'HOME' in os.environ:
userhome = os.environ['HOME']
elif 'USERPROFILE' in os.environ:
userhome = os.environ['USERPROFILE']
elif not 'HOMEPATH' in os.environ:
return path
<create userhome from HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
--
The pwd doc already says " KeyError is raised if the entry asked for cannot be
found.", so this is not an issue.
