[IronPython] A pseudobug in standard library usage

[Mohammad Tayseer]

The builtin module "nt" has no method called "_getfullpathname", which the stdlib uses to detect if the OS is Windows (that's what the comment says). I don't know why the library writer didn't check for sys.platform. I think that running CPython on Linux will result in an exception

There are two issues here: IronPython work item & CPython stdlib bug

Hello all,

More fun with None, this time with the standard library - specifically
with 'os.path.abspath':

CPython:

 >>> import os
 >>> os.path.abspath(None)
'C:\\Program Files\\Python24'
 >>>

IronPython:
 >>> import os
 >>> os.path.abspath(None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in ##89
  File C:\Program Files\Python24\Lib\ntpath.py, line 491, in abspath
  File C:\Program Files\Python24\Lib\ntpath.py, line 53, in isabs
  File C:\Program Files\Python24\Lib\ntpath.py, line 119, in splitdrive
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
 >>>

Thanks

Michael
