[New-bugs-announce] [issue16413] Non cross-platform behavior of os.path.split

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

os.path.split('c:foo') gives ('c:', 'foo') on Windows and ('', 'c:foo') on Linux, which is not documented. IIUC, the behavior change in os module is not possible, so a documentation note will be appreciated.
