Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: Looking at Guido's removal of this back in 1999, he says: """ * Lib/ntpath.py: Withdraw the UNC support from splitdrive(). Instead, a new function splitunc() parses UNC paths. The contributor of the UNC parsing in splitdrive() doesn't like it, but I haven't heard a good reason to keep it, and it causes some problems. (I think there's a philosophical problem -- to me, the split*() functions are purely syntactical, and the fact that \\foo is not a valid path doesn't mean that it shouldn't be considered an absolute path.) """
Do you have any comment on his philosophical problem? ---------- assignee: -> eric.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5799> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
