Path to URL

Oks, I know I'm going to seem completely stupid here but, I have a question
thats been doing my head in for the last few hours.

Basically, I'm trying to find a way to turn a folder and file path, from the
path, to the actual URL.

For example, if you were to type;

Response.Write <a href=" & folder.name & ">" & folder.name & "</a>"

It would automatically go to the URL of the folder, rather than the file,
but would display the link as the folder's name.

Doing it as;

Response.Write <a href=" & folder.name & ">" & folder.path & "</a>"

Will show the actual server path to the folder (i.e.
e:\myserver\myf older\current_f older)

What I would like to do is have it so, instead of showing the folder's name,
or path, it would show the actual URL and not the server path, as the
folder.path does........

Hope I'm making sense here?.....

You'll have to build it from the URL to the web site containing the
directory that the file is in and the file name. There is no simple way to
map a file path to an HTTP URL even though you are sure that the file is in
a web site (not possible at all if the file is not in a web site).

hehe, probably not the best way but, I've re-written one of the functions I
wrote for one of my VB app's, and it works....kinda

<%
strPath = " - http://" & request.serverv ariables("SERVE R_NAME") &
StripABSPath(fl .Path)

Function StripABSPath(na me)
Dim path
path = Split(name, "htdocs")
StripABSPath = path(UBound(pat h))
End Function

Hi, the arguments in the previous thread were convincing enough, so I made the Path class inherit from str/unicode again. It still can be found in CVS: /python/nondist/sandbox/path/{path.py,test_path.py} One thing is still different, though: a Path instance won't compare to a regular string.

Hi, Given a string representing the path to a file, what is the best way to get at the filename? Does the OS module provide a function to parse the path? or is it acceptable to split the string using '/' as delimiters and get the last 'word'. The reason I'm not entirely happy with that method is that it is platform specific. I would prefer to use a built in method if possible. Cheers,

I have to go into these convulsions to get the directory that the script is in whenever I need to use relative paths. I was wondering if you guys have a better way: from os.path import dirname, realpath, abspath here = dirname(realpath(abspath(__file__.rstrip("c")))) In particular, this takes care of the case of symlinked, compiled scripts, which is fairly common at my workplace, and I imagine in many *nix evironments.
