It rather defeats the purpose of os.sep if you include it in a part of the path. What you mean is better expressed as join(base, '..', '..', 'build', '') (and base includes it too, but I can't suggest an alternative because I don't know your intent is far as defaults go.) <cut> > The documentation says that an absolute path in the parameter list for > join will discard all previous parameters but '\\' is not an absoute > path! I think it is. The picture is messy on Windows (because of the drive letter) but absolute paths are usually taken to be those that start with a path separator. -- Ben. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
