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,

Can you recommend a generic way to achieve this ?
Eli
import os
from os.path import normpath,abspath
x=r'\foo\\bar/baz//spam.py'
normpath(x)
'\\foo\\bar\\baz\\spam.py'
normpath(abspath(x))
'C:\\foo\\bar\\baz\\spam.py'
normpath(abspath(x)).split(os.sep)
['C:', 'foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'spam.py']
