[New-bugs-announce] [issue31047] Windows: os.path.isabs(os.path.abspath(" ")) == False

[Christoph Reiter]

New submission from Christoph Reiter:

On Windows os.path.abspath(" ") == " "

While that's not a valid Windows path, similar invalid paths like "" or "?" etc all produce an absolute path.

Tested on 2.7 and 3.6
