But they can be part of a filename, at least on POSIX systems. Are you proposing that only the Windows version of os.path.join strip LF/CR? I don't think that it up to the join function to validate the path, and certainly not to modify the substrings. Would you expect it to complain about this? os.path.join('/', 'AUX')? (AUX is a reserved name and forbidden for file names under Windows.) I don't think it is up to join to validate that the path generated is legal, so I don't think this is a bug in join. ---------- nosy: +stevenjd _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20761> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
