I know I've written code like this that *depends* on the current behavior. It's *useful* to classify e.g. .svn directories or .*rc files by their "extension", so I'm honestly baffled by the idea of wanting to treat such files as *not* having an extension (as opposed to a possibly-unrecognized one). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
