Summary: expanduser tests in test_posixpath fail if $HOME ends in a /
Initial Comment:
test_expanduser in test_posixpath checks if expanduser('~/') equals
expanduser('~') + '/'. expanduser checks if the home dir location ends in a /
and skips the first character of the appended path if it does (so
expanduser('~/foo') with HOME=/spork/ becomes /spork/foo, not /spork//foo).
This means that if you run test_posixpath with HOME=/spork/ expanduser('~') and
expanduser('~/') both return '/spork/' and the test fails because '/spork//' !=
'/spork/'.
Possible fixes I can think of: either have expanduser strip the trailing slash
from the home directory instead of skipping the first slash from the appended
path (so still with HOME=/spork/ expanduser('~') would be '/spork'), or have
the test check if expanduser('~') ends in a backslash and check if
expanduser('~') is equal to expanduser('~/') in that case.
