Sridhar Ratnakumar <sridh...@activestate.com> added the comment: Shortly following this exception, I tried to create the directory myself
C:\...> mkdir slut-0.9\aux The directory name is invalid. Curiously, I searched the internet for why a directory named 'aux' cannot be created anywhere on the Windows filesystem. The reason - this is a 'special' name: http://www.blindedbytech.com/2006/11/16/forbidden- file-and-folder-names-on-windows/ However, does this mean one can never create a directory named by these special names? Apparently .. that is what I think is the case. I cannot even create a folder named 'aux' using Windows explorer! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6609> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
