Christian Heimes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I just saw this bug entry in the whatsnew list. The os.path.expanduser() function handles ~user the wrong way. The (naive) implementation expects that all user directories are inside a common base path. This is only true for standalone Windows computers.
There is no way to get the path to a user's home directory w/o her login+password or the login of a domain admin. The feature should be removed in 2.6.1. Martin, do you concur? ---------- assignee: georg.brandl -> loewis components: +Windows -None nosy: +christian.heimes, loewis priority: normal -> high resolution: accepted -> status: closed -> open versions: +Python 2.6, Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue957650> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
