Whether that's sane or not is debatable -- it depends entirely on what the application and/or user expect. A Unix user is probably expecting "/foo" to be completely unambiguous, and might be surprised if it gets turned into a Windows path that's not. In any case, there's no obvious meaning when going the other way (i.e. translating "C:\" into a Unix path). So I think it's reasonable to say that translation of absolute paths is not supported in general. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | Carpe post meridiem! | Christchurch, New Zealand | (I'm not a morning person.) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ 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
