Michael,
Thanks for the URL. (Alternately, you could have told me to look
in the
maxima.console() works but not maxima.interact()
thread.)
I do not have a problem with William's fix.
To explain why strip_automount_prefix() is necessary, some
computer networks only mount directories "on demand". So for
example, on one network I see
/u/kate
whereas the absolute path is
/automount/u/kate
By the way, the word "automount" could be anything and is
under system administrator control. So strip_automount_prefix()
just removes this prefix that os.path.abspath() shows.
Nick Alexander suggests using os.path.realpath or os.path.normpath.
Neither work on this network, and so I suspect those functions are
not portable.
