Turns out, that section doesn't document these functions (or a bunch of other functions in the os module). I think it used to--or did I learn about them somewhere else? Is there a problem in the conversion to HTML?
Also, I knew to look in posixpath for path functions, but there wasn't a reference to NT functionality that a novice could find...
Kevin, Sorry for the delay; I'm not ignoring your question! General swampage is getting in the way a little. ;-( The posixpath module is the best reference for os.path at this time; I don't recall any other reference material for this. There might be something in one of the books, however. Hopefully this material will be easier to locate in a future version of the library reference, but I don't know quite what form it should take yet. -Fred -- Fred L.
