That doesn't make sense. In order to do this, either the Windows file system must be mounted on the Unix system, in which case Unix paths are used for both, or the Unix file system must be mounted on the Windows system, in which case they're both Windows paths. In neither case is a conversion from Unix to Windows pathnames needed. -- 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
