Iztok Kavkler <iztok.kavk...@gmail.com> added the comment: There is a subtle problem in the reference implementation: it will break if one of the paths in PATH contains quoted path separator. On windows that would be quted with ":
"c:\path;with;sep" and on *nix something like /path\:with\:sep The problem is in the call path.split(os.path.sep) To do this properly we would need another helper function, e.g. shutil.split_path_list(path) that would split paths considering quoting. I should also strip quotes from every path in the list. I would write reference implementation, but I'm not sure if I know all the quoting rules of various os-es. ---------- nosy: +Iztok.Kavkler _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue444582> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
