Hi, I'm trying to implement a function which returns whether a path is a subpath of another one (e.g. /a/b/c is a subpath of /a/b). I wrote this function which apparently seems to work fine:import os def issubpath(path1, path2): """Return True if path1 is a sub path of path2.""" if path1 == path2: return False x1 = path1.split(os.sep) x2 = path2.split(os.sep) return x1[:len(x2)] == x2 ...but if I use "issubpath('C:\\dir', 'C:\\')" it returns False. A little help would be appreciated.
Any reason why os.path.normpath(a).startswith(os.normpath(b)) doesn't do the trick? Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
