New submission from Klemens Häckel <clic...@linuxmail.org>: I am using python for some backup tasks, and recently i found a problem whe i have certain directory names. Probably the problem is only in windows, however i would like You to know. I verified the same behaviour in (WindowsXP, spanish, SP3) using Python 2.5.2 and also in 2.6.1 (installers from Python.org).
In my case i have directory names, beginning with year/month numbers. Aparrently python is confusing something, so os.path.basename is not working: dd = 'C:\downloads\hacking\0812logcompress' >>> os.path.basename(dd) 'hacking\x00812logcompress' >>> dd = 'C:\downloads\hacking\logcompress' >>> os.path.basename(dd) 'logcompress' ---------- components: Windows messages: 78197 nosy: kle_py severity: normal status: open title: os.path.basename error on directory names with numbers type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4723> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
