Ross Burton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Aha. The contents of the mount point are only accessible by root:
$ stat /media/windows/.. stat: cannot stat `/media/windows/..': Permission denied This falls into the except block, so false is returned. If ismount() used os.path.dirname() instead of appending "..", then this wouldn't happen. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2466> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
