It's not at all clear that current behaviour should be considered a bug . e.g, I think it's reasonable to expect that splitext( a+"." + b) == (a, .b ) for any a,b which have no dots in them... The patch will break this assumption for empty a So, I'd classify dot files as a border case (either behaviour could be viewed as wrong/correct).. In which case backward compatibility should be the primary consideration IMHO Ilya > Greetings, > Hans > _______________________________________________ > 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/ilya%40bluefir.net > _______________________________________________ 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
