Won't work for platforms with more than one path separator and if a separator is repeated. For example r'\foo\\bar/baz//spam.py' or: In [140]: os.path.split('foo//bar') Out[140]: ('foo', 'bar') In [141]: 'foo//bar'.split(os.sep) Out[141]: ['foo', '', 'bar'] Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
