Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment: It's a border case for backporting. The docs do say it should be returning an absolute path, so that is a bug. And chances are anyone who has discovered this and is working around it simply called os.path.abspath() on the value instead of some manual calculation (if at all; bigger chance no one simply noticed).
My vote is to backport. Otherwise the docs should be updated for 2.6/3.1 to mention the bug. ---------- nosy: +brett.cannon _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7325> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
