Steve Dower added the comment: At the point this code is running, it doesn't matter. The path doesn't exist, so trimming irrelevant segments from it will just cause a few extra iterations through resolve until we clear out enough of the absent segments to find something that does exist.
abspath just prepends the current working directory unless the path is rooted, so we essentially have unbounded concatenation of "\.." in that case. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29079> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
