[issue23535] os.path.join() wrong concatenation of "C:" on Windows

[Ben Hoyt]

Ben Hoyt added the comment:

Sorry, but this is operating as designed and documented. See the docs here: https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/os.path.html#os.path.join

"On Windows ... since there is a current directory for each drive, os.path.join("c:", "foo") represents a path relative to the current directory on drive C: (c:foo), not c:\foo.

So I think this issue should be closed as not a bug.
