R. David Murray added the comment: No, I'm not going to write tests...my goal is to commit other people's patches, and I haven't even found time for that lately. And like you, I'm not convinced the fix is needed. There is one argument I can think of in favor, though: currently code that doesn't raise an error on posix will raise an error on Windows, and there is some portability value in making this consistent.
(Side note: the fact that join works with things that look enough like strings is important, because I'm sure that there are pathlib-like libraries out there that pretend to be strings so that they can be used in things like path.join.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23780> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
