While we'ew discussing outstanding issues: In a related discussion of the path module on c.l.py, Thomas Heller pointed out that the path module doesn't correctly handle unicode paths: ...
Here is a patch that avoids failure when paths can not be represented in a single 8 bit encoding. It adds a _cwd variable in the initialisation and then calls this rather than os.getcwd. I sent the patch to Jason as well. _base = str _cwd = os.getcwd try: if os.path.supports_unicode_filenames: _base = unicode _cwd = os.getcwdu except AttributeError: pass #... def getcwd(): """ Return the current working directory as a path object. """ return path(_cwd()) Neil
