Steve Dower added the comment: I thought I'd tested GetFullPathNameW and seen the limit kick in at 260, but if that's not actually the case (across all platforms we support) then yes, let's use that.
When I reread the documentation yesterday it didn't guarantee the result would include the prefix, whereas GetFinalPathByHandle does. Again, if the documentation is incorrect here, then we should use the simpler function. The fact that I described the normalization process inadequately shows why we really need to be careful trying to emulate it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27730> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
