This works correctly for me on a variety of platforms. Here is the STAX
job I used:
<stax>
<defaultcall function="Main"/>
<function name="Main">
<sequence>
<stafcmd>
<location>'local'</location>
<service>'VAR'</service>
<request>'RESOLVE STRING {STAF/Config/OS/Name}'</request>
</stafcmd>
<message log="1">STAFResult</message>
<script>
from os import path
path1 = path.dirname('/usr/local/filename')
path2 = path.split( '/usr/local/filename' )[0]
</script>
<message log="1">path1</message>
<message log="1">path2</message>
</sequence>
</function>
</stax>

Can you provide a STAX job that demonstrates the problem you are seeing,
along with details on the platform on which you are executing the STAX
job?

Subject
[staf-users] [Python] path.dirname() and path.split() problem
Within STAX jobs, using both path.dirname( '/usr/local/filename' ) and
path.split( '/usr/local/filename' )[0] evaluates to '\usr\local\filename'
(according to the machine which is executing the STAX job) causing any
subsequent file operations to fail, while using it in Python shell (Python
2.1) evaluates to the desired value of '/usr/local' regardless of the
executing machine. Why is this difference and how can overcome this
problem?
