Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment: Damn. :-)
Detecting the case where the normpath'd location is the same means hitting the filesystem - and the current version just does string manipulation so it doesn't seem like an acceptable change. Still, compared to other languages the file handling in Python (spread across os, os.path, shutil, stat) is clunky and verbose. Fixing that means duplicating this functionality which makes it unlikely that we'll get it in the standard library. ---------- resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ 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
