[New-bugs-announce] [issue26365] ntpath.py Error in Windows

[Ben Kummer]

New submission from Ben Kummer:

ntpath.py throws an error in Python2.7.11 Windows

Code snippet:
product_dir ="/zope/eggs43"
my_tuple= os.path.split(product_dir)[:-1]
roduct_prefix = os.path.join(my_tuple )

The same code works in python 2.7.11 under Linux

Traceback:
C:\zope\selenium_test>c:\Python27\python.exe python_bug_reproduce.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "python_bug_reproduce.py", line 10, in <module>
    main()
  File "python_bug_reproduce.py", line 7, in main
    product_prefix = os.path.join(my_tuple )
  File "c:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py", line 90, in join
    return result_drive + result_path
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'tuple' objects


code to reproduce:

#!/usr/bin/python
import os

def main():
    product_dir ="/zope/eggs43"
    my_tuple= os.path.split(product_dir)[:-1]
    product_prefix = os.path.join(my_tuple )
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
