If it were `.` would we then always check if the prompt was a folder and then use the folder's name in that case? Or would it only apply to `.`? As for `__curdir__`, it could work, but I don't know how easy would that be to remember or explain to new users compared to `.`? My vote is to support `.` and make the rule that if you specify a folder it will use the basename automatically. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38901> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
