Matt Bachmann added the comment: Perhaps this is the bug I should be filing but here is why this comes up for me.
I get different output from this function if I pass in two types. On my machine: os.path.relpath(u'test_srcl.txt', u'.') returns u'test_src.txt' os.path.relpath(u'test_srcl.txt', '.') returns u'../../Users/bachmann/Code/diff-cover/diff_cover/tests/fixtures/test_src.txt' I make a couple calls to this function, if the first call gives me back a byte string and I pass it to the second call I get the incorrect result. So I need to decode. If the function always gave back the same type as I gave it I would not have this issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21343> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
