New submission from tegavu:
Windows does not like/permit folders with spaces in the beginning or folders
and files with a tailing space character, as this will cause problems.
The python functions for os.mkdir will solve this by eliminating the blanks
automatically.
But os.path.join() will give wrong results.
Example:
#Python 3.4.0 (v3.4.0:04f714765c13, Mar 16 2014, 19:25:23)
import os
dir1 = "c:\\"
dir2 = "test "
file = "test.txt"
os.mkdir( os.path.join(dir1, dir2) )
# this will correctly create c:\test\
f = open( os.path.join(dir1, dir2, file) ,"wb")
# this will fail with 'FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or
directory: 'c:\\test \\test.txt''
print("__" + os.path.join(dir1, dir2, file) + "__")
# this will incorrectly show 'c:\test \test.txt'
# or if you chose to also have spaces at the end of "test.txt " will
show them
