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).
from 1.5.2's posixpath:
def normpath(path): """Normalize path, eliminating double slashes, etc.""" import string # Treat initial slashes specially slashes = '' while path[:1] == '/': slashes = slashes + '/' path = path[1:] ... return slashes + string.joinfields(comps, '/')
from 2.0's posixpath:
def normpath(path): """Normalize path, eliminating double slashes, etc.""" if path == '': return '.' import string initial_slash = (path[0] == '/') ... if initial_slash: path = '/' + path return path or '.'
interesting...
