New submission from David Strobach <[email protected]>:
On Windows (Server 2012 R2 in my case) os.stat() seems to be striping
significant trailing spaces off the path argument:
>>> import os
>>> os.stat("c:\\Program Files ")
os.stat_result(st_mode=16749, st_ino=281474976710717, st_dev=173025906,
st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_size=8192, st_atime=1586154685,
st_mtime=1586154685, st_ctime=1377178576)
>>> os.stat("c:\\Program Files\\ ")
os.stat_result(st_mode=16749, st_ino=281474976710717, st_dev=173025906,
st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_size=8192, st_atime=1586154685,
st_mtime=1586154685, st_ctime=1377178576)
>>> # consequently
>>> os.path.isdir("c:\\Program Files\\ ")
True
>>> os.path.isdir("c:\\Program Files ")
True
>>> os.scandir("c:\\Program Files ")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified:
'c:\\Program Files '
The same also applies to regular files, not just directories.
