STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@gmail.com> added the comment: realpath.patch:
- Add os.realpath() - posixpath.realpath() uses os.realpath(), or os.getcwd() if the path is an empty string - os.realpath() uses canonicalize_file_name() if available, or use realpath() with a buffer of MAXPATHLEN bytes Don't use realpath(path, NULL) because it is not possible to test if realpath() supports NULL: OpenBSD did segfault if the buffer was NULL. Testing the support in configure is not a good idea because it depends on the version of the C library. You may use a more recent C library to compile Python for example. genericpath, macpath and os2emxpath are not patched to use os.realpath(), even if it is available. I don't know if these modules should be patched. ntpath uses the native Windows function (if available): GetFullPathNameW(). ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24596/realpath.path _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12801> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
