Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: expanduser() is path handling function, but not expandvars(). expandvars() is defined in posixpath and ntpath because different OSes use different syntax for interpolated strings, and we sometimes need to use a foreign syntax. It doesn't have any special relations to paths, it handles them just as strings. Actually expandvars() functions are the fifth and the sixth ways of string formatting in Python.
I suggest to close this issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21301> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
