Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: > Is there any problem with join always calling normpath on it's result?
Yes. If /usr/local/bin was a symlink to /net/x86, then /usr/local/bin/../lib might not be /usr/local/lib, but /net/lib. So calling normpath in the presence of symlinks might be incorrect. ---------- nosy: +loewis title: os.path.join should call os.path.normpath on result -> os.path.join should call os.path.normpath on result _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6764> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
