I was reading os.readlink doc which says: readlink( path)
Return a string representing the path to which the symbolic link points. The result may be either an absolute or relative pathname; if it is relative, it may be converted to an absolute pathname using os.path.join(os.path.dirname(path), result). Availability: Macintosh, Unix. ...It's not clear to me when the returning result could be absolute and when it could be relative. Could someone clarify this point? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
