Kevin Keating added the comment: I agree that None is an unwise value to pass in. Of the four different abspath implementations, though, one will treat None (or any falsey value) as an empty string, while the other three will raise an exception unless passed an actual str or bytes object. I think the ideal solution would be to have abspath(None) raise a TypeError regardless of operating system, which would make it consistent with normcase (http://bugs.python.org/issue9018). It's conceivable that some Windows-only code might rely on the current behavior of abspath(None), though.
