New submission from Erik Sandberg <sandb...@virtutech.com>: On Linux, I get the following:
>>> import os >>> os.path.normpath(u'/') '/' I would expect unicode to be mapped to unicode. os.path.abspath() has the same problem, see also issue 3426. This causes problems in my project, where a function requires its parameters to be Unicode. Do the standard Python library functions that operate on strings guarantee anything in general with respect to conserving unicode? Can I make any assumption as to which codec was used to encode the str returned from normpath? ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 90341 nosy: sandberg severity: normal status: open title: normpath() sometimes maps unicode to str type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6450> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
