[issue5471] os.path.expanduser('~') doesnt works correctly when HOME is '/'

2009-03-10 Thread pancake 

New submission from pancake panc...@nopcode.org:

When the HOME path is just '/' python says that the home path is 
(zero length string)

I was able to reproduce this issue in 2.5.2 and 2.6 (no idea about 3.0)

Here's an example:

$ HOME=/ python -c 'import os;print os.path.expanduser(~)'

$ HOME=/tmp python -c 'import os;print os.path.expanduser(~)'
/tmp

$ HOME=a python -c 'import os;print os.path.expanduser(~)'
a

--8--

I just used if !os.path.isdir(os.path.expanduser('~')): check in
my application to avoid messing around the resulting paths when the
application runs.

The correct response should be '/' instead of ''.
