Hi
I have problem with Python on MAC OSX. The following code documents it
strib:~ eda$ pwd
/home/eda
strib:~ eda$ python
Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> print os.getcwd()
/private/home/eda
>>>
Note I would have expected
print os.getcwd()
to print
/home/eda
Note that
>>> os.system('echo $PWD')
/home/eda
0
Of course /home/eda is a symbolic link to /private/home/eda. Is this a
bug or a feature? Is there a good way to work around it?
Regards
Erling
