Tim Golden <m...@timgolden.me.uk> added the comment: I can't get it crash on a path that short. I can produce an error message if I push it beyond the 254 limit, but you can work around that by applying the filesystem namespace prefix:
<code> import os path = "c:\\" + "\\".join (130 * ['xx']) os.makedirs (path) # # will fail more or less violently # path = "\\\\?\\" + path os.makedirs (path) os.listdir (path) </code> Probably related issues: http://bugs.python.org/issue9246 http://bugs.python.org/issue4071 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9575> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
