[issue14145] string.rfind() returns AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'rfind'

[Griffin Smith]

New submission from Griffin Smith :

This occurs even when calling methods in modules (such as os.path.splitext), so 
I know it's not happening due to an error on my part

Win7 SP1

[issue14145] string.rfind() returns AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'rfind'

Sorry about the lack of clarity there.

I'm calling os.path.splitext("C:\blah.ext") and trackback is returning an 
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'rfind' from within the 
definition for splitext in the NTPath module.

That's only the specific usage that brought about the error - I'm getting it 
for all calls to rfind everywhere.

I will admit it's a very strange error - I did some searching around and nobody 
else is experiencing the bug, so clearly it's a problem with my particular 
installation of Python. I haven't used any third-party Python extensions, 
however, and everything seems like it's as vanilla as possible to me.

Griffin Smith  added the comment:

Actually, I did some diagnosis and it would appear it was actually an 
inappropriate call - I was assuming os.path.walk returned a tuple containing a 
list of files instead of a tuple containing a list of lists of files.

Sorry about that.
