Sorry, George, but that's now how it works. Whether using the regular string-based Python paths or the new path module, a path *is* either absolute or relative, but cannot be both at the same time. This is therefore not an issue of "representation" but one of state. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
