* SF bug #1473760 TempFile can hang on Windows.Tim Peters2006-04-211-21/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import inside the function. As a result, due to Python's import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows (directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile) hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a side effect of importing a module. This is a depressingly frequent problem, and deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows, and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin with (ntpath needs a different implementation depending on whether we're actually running on Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_ the function). Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py is a convenient place to add tests for them.

| | | | | | - 'os2' references in ntpath.py relate to the VACPP port, not the EMX port; - the VACPP port uses the same defpath as all other ntpath.py supported platforms except 'ce'.

* SF bug 478425: Change in os.path.join (ntpath.py)Tim Peters2001-11-051-0/+6
| | | | | | ntpath.join('a', '') was producing 'a' instead of 'a\\' as in 2.1. Impossible to guess what was ever *intended*, but since split('a\\') produces ('a', ''), I think it's best if join('a', '') gives 'a\\' back.

* SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks:Guido van Rossum2001-09-171-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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'
* SF bug #456621: normpath on Win32 not collapsing c:\\..Tim Peters2001-08-301-8/+11
| | | | | | I actually rewrote normpath quite a bit: it had no test cases, and as soon as I starting writing some I found several cases that didn't make sense.

| | | | | | | d:/whatever instead of /whatever. While I'm afraid changing isabs() to be *consistent* with this would break lots of code, it makes best sense for join() to do it this way. Thanks to Alex Martelli for pushing back on this one!

| | | | | | | This is a Windows-specific glitch that's really due to that, e.g., ntpath.join("c:", "/abc") returned "/abc" instead of "c:/abc". Made join smarter. Bugfix candidate.

* Withdraw the UNC support from splitdrive(). Instead, a new functionGuido van Rossum1999-04-061-8/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | splitunc() parses UNC paths. The contributor of the UNC parsing in splitdrive() doesn't like it, but I haven't heard a good reason to keep it, and it causes some problems. (I think there's a philosophical problem -- to me, the split*() functions are purely syntactical, and the fact that \\foo is not a valid path doesn't mean that it shouldn't be considered an absolute path.) Also (quite separately, but strangely related to the philosophical issue above) fix abspath() so that if win32api exists, it doesn't fail when the path doesn't actually exist -- if GetFullPathName() fails, fall back on the old strategy (join with getcwd() if neccessary, and then use normpath()).
