> But shouldn't it just work with `//` as a `/`? It seems like this is the > behavior elsewhere. It works elsewhere because empty directory names are impossible so can be dropped. But if `//` is placed in the beginning, it gets a special meaning that totally changes the whole path so its plain replacement would give a totally wrong one. Roughly speaking, "//Library/Video" is `/Video` on a computer named `Library`. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue47161> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
