Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: The path *returned* is relative to the start point. The target path is figured out normally (i.e. relative to the current directory if an absolute path is not given).
In your example, you aren't passing in an absolute Windows path - you give a path relative to the current drive (since no drive is specified). Windows file pathing is hopeless, but it isn't the job of Python's documentation to explain its quirks. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7195> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
