New submission from Charles P <charlespig...@googlemail.com>:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/distutils/util.py#L106-L131 Due to the split('/') and os.path.join(), this function converts an absolute path of the form "C:/foobar" into a relative "C:foobar", which is likely to be entirely different Usecase: pip install --prefix=/home/charles/python foobar within an MSYS2 terminal automagically converts the path to C:/Users/charles/python for some reason or another, but it's not exactly uncommon for users to use forward slashes on Windows regardless I'm not entirely sure what the correct fix would be here, or even if it should be fixed at a higher level - in setuptools or pip ---------- components: Distutils messages: 341197 nosy: LordAro, dstufft, eric.araujo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: distutils.util.convert_path mangles windows paths with forward slashes type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36768> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
