I'm not so sure about that. Consider that "file:///foo.bar" is a valid relative pathname on Unix to a file called "foo.bar" in a directory called "file:". That's not to say there shouldn't be a function available that understands it, but I wouldn't want it built into all functions that take pathnames. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
