The UNCW path is a result of the call to ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetFinalPathNameByHandleW() in FixTk.py, which translates "\\Server\Share\File" paths to "\\?\UNC\Server\Share\File". Simply removing the leading "\\?\" from the UNCW path, as it is done in Python 2.6.5 and 2.7b2 FixTk.py, results in an invalid "UNC\Server\Share\File" path. The proposed patch removes "UNC" and prepends a "\\", which gives a valid "\\Server\Share\File" path. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6470> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
