I came across an issue that I am wondering whether I should report as an issue. If I have a directory, say:
base='C:\\Documents' and I use os.path.join() as follows: join(base, '..\\..\\', 'build', '') I obtain as expected from the documentation: 'C:\\Documents\\..\\..\\build\\' But if I try to make the directory myself (as I tried first): join(base, '..\\..\\', 'build', '\\') I obtain: 'C:\\' The documentation says that an absolute path in the parameter list for join will discard all previous parameters but '\\' is not an absoute path! Moreover, if I use join(base, '..\\..\\', 'build', os.sep) I get the same result. This seems to me to be a bug that I should report but to avoid wasting developer time I wanted to hear what others feel about this. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
