R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: No, it isn't a design principle. My point was that unix hasn't found it useful to add a level option to the dirname API.
I don't know that I personally have ever had occasion to peel off more than one directory level without also wanting to do something with the intermediate results, so perhaps I am not a good judge of how useful this would be. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11344> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
