[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #110673] os.abspatth() error due to win32api.GetFullPathName (PR#380)

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #110673, was updated on 2000-Jul-31 14:12
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Windows
Status: Open
Resolution: Fixed
Bug Group: Platform-specific
Priority: 5
Summary: os.abspatth() error due to win32api.GetFullPathName (PR#380)

Details: Jitterbug-Id: 380
Submitted-By: 2jerry@writeme.com
Date: Mon,  3 Jul 2000 17:14:02 -0400 (EDT)
Version: 1.5.2  (win32api build 129)
OS: pc win98


next to code:
full_path_lst = map(os.path.abspath, sys.path)

according to that sys.path include the source directory at the first place of
sys.path.

I noticed that if I call the module in its own directory (python -i module.py)
 the first item of sys.path is ''.
That all ok: abspath function in os module call getcwd() function if path is
Null.
... 
good day for UNIX like men (as me :))
...
but in NT or WIN 98 workstation:
os.path.abspath call :win32api.GetFullPathName(path)  in ntpath module 
and 
win32api.GetFullPathName('')   return '' and not current directory.

Maybe is it a functionality .. but is os-depend functionality available for a
longtime ?

Can anyone else here confirm that:

a) os.abspath('') on Linux does indeed return the CWD.
b) It is supposed to :-)

If confirmed, this would be a bug in ntpath.py.  It catches win32api
exceptions, and returns the input name in that case.  This would be
triggered by:

>>> win32api.GetFullPathName('')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
pywintypes.api_error: (127, 'GetFullPathName', 'The specified procedure
could not be found.')

Is this indeed something we should fix?

Mark.

  Yes, that's right.

 > b) It is supposed to :-)

  I think that's the right thing to do.

Possibly already fixed, or at least Mark has looked at it :)

Comment:
This is not a bug in win32api.GetFullPathName(), but rather the use of GetFullPathName() to implement os.abspath().  Bug summary changed accordingly.  Confirmed as a bug, and I will fix it!
