The QNX node number prefix '//5' (machine or host number, equivalent to a 'hostname:' prefix for network paths) is being reduced somehow (path normalization?) to '/5', so paths don't resolve. 2 slashes ('//') are required at the head of the path. Is this something that can be fixed?
Ooh, very likely:
os.path.normpath('//5/foo/bar') '/5/foo/bar'
Isn't // at the root a Unix convention of some sort for some network filesystems? Probably normpath() should just leave it alone.
Samba uses //<hostname>/<mountname>/<path>. os.path.normpath() should probably leave the leading '//' untouched (having too many of those in the path doesn't do any harm, AFAIK). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Company: http://www.egenix.com/ Consulting: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
