Eryk Sun added the comment:
Also, "CONIN$" and "CONOUT$" need to be added to the list of reserved names.
Prior to Windows 8 these two names are reserved only for the current directory,
which for the most part also applies to "CON".
For Windows 8+, the redesign to use a real console device means that these
three console devices are handled in exactly the same way as the other reserved
DOS device names. For example:
Windows 10
>>> print(os.path.abspath('C:/Temp/conout$ : spam . eggs'))
\\.\conout$
Windows 7
>>> print(os.path.abspath('C:/Temp/conout$ : spam . eggs'))
C:\Temp\conout$ : spam . eggs
