New submission from Tim Golden <m...@timgolden.me.uk>:
>From a fresh build on Win10 with VS2017:
python -munittest -v test.test_ntpath.TestNtpath.test_nt_helpers
gives the following error:
======================================================================
FAIL: test_nt_helpers (test.test_ntpath.TestNtpath)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\work-in-progress\python\cpython\lib\test\test_ntpath.py", line 432,
in test_nt_helpers
self.assertEqual(drive, nt._getvolumepathname(sys.executable))
AssertionError: 'c:\\' != 'C:\\'
- c:\
? ^
+ C:\
? ^
Ad hoc, it appears that:
`sys.executable` gives a lower-case path while `nt._getvolumepathname` gives an
upper-case drive letter.
While the test could be trivially fixed, it seems worth investigating a little
further to see what's happening inside `nt._getvolumepathname`
