[issue15342] os.path.join behavior

2012-07-13 Thread Pan Yongzhi

Pan Yongzhi fossi...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment:

I know this is working as documented. But working as documented does not mean 
it is not a bug.

I cannot deduce that it will append a separator if joining with an empty string 
from the documentation. Also, this behavior is implicit, and have to guess. 
Either the document or the behaivor have to be changed.

I think it is not only me:

[issue15342] os.path.join behavior

2012-07-12 Thread Pan Yongzhi

New submission from Pan Yongzhi fossi...@users.sourceforge.net:

I am constructing a source directory argument to rsync. It has to end with 
slash due to rsync behavior. I use:

os.path.join('/src/dir', os.path.sep)

And run it and realized the source directory becomes '/'. Luckily it is not the 
destination.

Why should join discard all previous path components if any component is an 
absoulute path? This is such a surprise and renders this function useless.

[issue15135] HOWTOs doesn't link to Idioms and Anti-Idioms article

2012-06-22 Thread Pan Yongzhi

New submission from Pan Yongzhi fossi...@users.sourceforge.net:

In the py3k docs howtos table of contents, 
http://docs.python.org/py3k/howto/index.html, the link to the article Idioms 
and Anti-Idioms in Python is gone, but the article is still in the doc. It is 
at http://docs.python.org/py3k/howto/doanddont.html. Should it have a link at 
the howtos section?
