Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: Reproduced on WinXP. execfile() does not work because it calls the system function stat(); this function does accept UNC paths (like \\machine\share\file), but not paths which contain a wildcard character ('?' or '*')
I suggest to remove the leading '\\\\?\\'. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8869> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
