Terry J. Reedy added the comment: On Windows, HOME is both split into two variables and replaced by USERPROFILE. C:\Users\Terry>set HOME HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH=\Users\Terry
C:\Users\Terry>set USERPROFILE USERPROFILE=C:\Users\Terry So if it make sense to run this on Windows*, I would call it a bug. * I am guessing that Windows' FTP clients do not use .netrc. The doc says "the file .netrc in the user’s home directory will be read." without qualification by "if $HOME is set". I don't remember how os.path.expanduser might otherwise find the home directory on unix and don't know what unix users might reasonbly expect. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28334> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
