Matt Bachmann added the comment:
There is a difference! '.' is a bytes string and u'.' is a unicode one!
I found this problem because I work on a project that supports both python2 and
python3.
In python3 I pass in unicode I get back unicode. In python2.7 I pass in unicode
and I get back a bytes string. We need to ensure that all data in the system is
unicode.
Under 2.7 I get unicode sometimes and bytes other times so I need to do this
ugly check
root_rel_path = os.path.relpath(self._cwd, self._root)
if isinstance(root_rel_path, six.binary_type):
root_rel_path = root_rel_path.decode()
in order to ensure that my string is once again of the correct type.
