Graham Wideman <initcont...@grahamwideman.com> added the comment: Eli: Excellent and thoughtful point. This would indeed be exactly the place to suggest os.path.join as an alternative.
In addition, there are still occasions where one needs to form a string with trailing backslash. Two examples: 1. When writing the string specifying root directory: r'C:\ '[:-1] 2. Using python to prepare command lines to run other command line programs, where an argument may require a final backslash to explicitly specify a target directory (as opposed to a file). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
