FWIW, all of the "standard" Windows functions from the Microsoft CRT (_splitpath) to the Shell API (PathRemoveExtension) to the CLR (System.IO.Path.*) believe that ".cshrc" is the extension of the filename ".cshrc". I'm not sure if that's an argument for or against the patch, though. -- Tim Lesher <[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
