* SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks:Guido van Rossum2001-09-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time, I put together a little function that tries to find the canonical filename for a given pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to turning it into a proper patch with documentation. On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are encountered in the path. Example: >>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X') '/usr/X11R6/bin/X'
* Add a version annotation for splitdrive(); old, but as long as I managedFred Drake2001-05-251-0/+1

* Document splitdrive().Fred Drake1999-02-031-2/+10
| | | | | | For all split*(), these split path *into* pairs, not split path *in* pairs. "Into" can be used for transformations, "in" is for containment.

| | | | | Use consistent parameter naming with the os documentation (paths always named "path" or "path1", "path2"...).
