Category: Documentation Group: Platform-specific >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: j vickroy (jvickroy) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: os.path.makedirs DOES handle UNC paths Initial Comment: File: http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/os-file-dir.html Paragraph: """ makedirs( path[, mode]) Recursive directory creation function. Like mkdir(), but makes all intermediate-level directories needed to contain the leaf directory. Throws an error exception if the leaf directory already exists or cannot be created. The default mode is 0777 (octal). This function does not properly handle UNC paths (only relevant on Windows systems; Universal Naming Convention paths are those that use the `\host\path' syntax). New in version 1.5.2. """ I just os.path.makedirs(...) with a UNC path and it DID create the desired folder on the specified host. The "in development" documentation is the same as the above documentation. I did not see any reference to this in the existing documentation bug reports. My particulars ...

Confirmed to work with python 2.3.5 and 2.4.1. It does NOT work in python 2.2.3. I have submitted a patch (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1359879&group_id=5470&atid=305470) that removes the comment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1357604&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
