New submission from Barney Gale <barney.g...@gmail.com>:
Windows reserves certain filenames like 'NUL'. Checking for these names is part of a small handful of functionality that is available in pathlib but not in os.path. I propose that we add an os.path.isreserved() function, encorporating Eryk Sun's work on bpo-27827. We then adjust pathlib to call the new function. By doing so, we move one of the few remaining OS-specific implementations in pathlib to low-level libraries (posixpath, ntpath) where it arguably belongs. We also make this functionality available to the segment of people using traditional string-based path operations who don't want to dip their toes into pathlib just for reserved names. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 395702 nosy: barneygale priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add os.path.isreserved() function type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44403> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
