The user will tell us what the source format is. If they don't know, they've got bigger problems than we can handle. One can imagine a guesspath() or any2posix() function, but I can't imagine it would be widely used... or 100% correct. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
