New submission from Chris Jerdonek: The documentation for os.path.normcase(path) is currently confusing or self-contradictory.
Currently, it reads-- "Normalize the case of a pathname. On Unix and Mac OS X, this returns the path unchanged; on case-insensitive filesystems, it converts the path to lowercase." However, with a case-insensitive file system on Mac OS X (e.g. "File System Personality: Journaled HFS+"), normcase() does not convert paths to lowercase. As it stands, it seems like the clause "on case-insensitive filesystems, it converts the path to lowercase" should be removed or further qualified. I don't know what the qualification is though. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 232871 nosy: chris.jerdonek, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.path.normcase documentation confusing type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23079> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
