course, exists() and isdir() etc. do, and so does realpath(), but the pure parsing functions don't.
Yes, but: H:\>echo foo > TeSt.txt ...>>> import os.path
os.path.realpath('test.txt') 'H:\\test.txt' os.path.normcase('TeSt.txt') 'test.txt'
Both feel unsatisfying to me :-S How can I get 'TeSt.txt' from 'test.txt' (which feels like the contract normcase *should* have...)
They can be used without a working filesystem even. (E.g. you can import ntpath on a Unix box and happily parse Windows paths.)
But what value does that add over just doing a .lower() on the path? Chris
