The following demonstrate the correct behaviour of ntpath.split():
Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ntpath
>>> ntpath.split('foo\\\\')
('foo', '')
>>> ntpath.split('foo\\\\bar\\\\')
('foo\\\\bar', '')
>>> ntpath.split('foo\\\\bar')
('foo', 'bar')
>>> ntpath.split('foo\\bar')
('foo', 'bar')
>>> ntpath.split('\\\\bar')
('\\\\', 'bar')
I can't see how this error could arise from the line:
while head2 and head2[-1] in '/\\':
The only possible iterable is the constant '/\\' ...
You may have a corrupt Python 2.5 installation; try the above tests;
if one fails, delete any ntpath.pyc and/or ntpath.pyo and try again.
I'm suspicious of the 'lib' directory name; standard Python
installations on Windows call the directory 'Lib' AFAIK; how did you
install Python?
HTH,
John
