Pekka Klärck added the comment:
It seems that joining UNC path to a directory root fails:
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:51:14)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from ntpath import join
>>> join('c:\\', '\\\\server\\mount\\dir')
'c:\\\\server\\mount\\dir'
When the first argument contains also something else everything works fine:
>>> join('c:\\dir', '\\\\server\\mount\\dir')
'\\\\server\\mount\\dir'
I would say this is a bug. Obviously fixing this changes behavior, but I have
hard time believing that anyone relies on the current buggy output.
On the other hand, I was today reported a bug in my software that was caused by
this. Funny thing was that the bug was in code that was added as a workaround
for issue #3426 (i.e. use `join(os.getcwdu(), path)` instead of `abspath(path)`
when path is Unicode). Luckily adding another workaround for this issue is
pretty easy.
