New submission from Oren Held <o...@held.org.il>: On unices, ismount checks whether the given path is a mount point. On windows, it only checks whether it's a drive letter.
Long story short, Python simply returns False when doing ismount(r"c:\mount1"), while c:\mount1 is a real mount point. This is relevant for all modern windows versions. -- I'm using win32file.GetVolumePathName() for overcoming this, but I'm not sure if the os python package should be importing win32file, maybe there is a better way to check whether a path is a mount point.. ---------- components: Windows messages: 108225 nosy: Oren_Held priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.path.ismount on windows doesn't support windows mount points versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9035> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
