Eryk Sun <[email protected]> added the comment:
This behavior is due to issue 37609, i.e. ntpath.splitdrive fails for "UNC"
device paths.
>>> ntpath.splitdrive('//?/UNC/server/share')
('//?/UNC', '/server/share')
The result should be "//?/UNC/server/share". A path on the "UNC" device
requires a share component, on which is mounted a local or remote filesystem
directory. It's functionally part of the 'drive' path. Using just the root path
or a server path on the "UNC" device is malformed in the context of a normal
file API open. The former fails as ERROR_INVALID_NAME (123), and the latter
fails as ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME (161).
The incorrect splitdrive result in turn makes ntpath.split misbehave:
>>> ntpath.split('//?/UNC/server/share')
('//?/UNC/server', 'share')
>>> ntpath.split('//?/UNC/server')
('//?/UNC/', 'server')
The correct result should be ('//?/UNC/server/share', '').
