New submission from Todd <coleman4...@hotmail.com>:
Short back story - I am organizing music where "/" appears in a lot a metadata for the songs. For instance, the artist "AC/DC" or "ACDC w/ Axl Rose". On macOS, it is acceptable to name a folder "AC/DC" while the slash would cause an issue in Windows. Issue - While using os.listdir to list a number of artist folders inside my iTunes music folder os.listdir replaced "/" with ":" IF the "/" appears in the name itself. It does not replace the slash delimiters. I have included a screen shot. On the right side of the image is an example directory I made with a few folders. Two of the folders have "/" in their names. On the left side of the image is the Python shell showing the use of os.listdir along with the output. You'll notice that the listed directories don't include "/", but instead include ":". ---------- components: macOS files: Screen Shot 2018-07-21 at 9.29.59 PM.png messages: 322128 nosy: coleman4...@hotmail.com, ned.deily, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [3.6.6 on macOS] os.listdir replacing "/" with ":" type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file47708/Screen Shot 2018-07-21 at 9.29.59 PM.png _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34186> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
