os.path.normpat h

I am using a windows box and passing a string like "../foo/../foo2" to
normpath which then returns "..\\foo2". But if this string is going
into a webpage link it should really be "../foo".

Is there any way to tell os.path.normpat h to act like we are an a unix
style box?

What about in the new python 2.5 Path class?

You could just .replace('\\','/') on the resulting string. Or use the
urlparse module.

The fact than '/' is used as a path separator both on unix and on
HTTP URLs should be considered as a mere coincidence (in fact it isn't...)
URLs dont necesarily point to a real file on a real file system (Zope
is an example).

Use posixpath.normp ath() instead.

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'm running into problems trying to override __str__ on the path class from Jason Orendorff's path module (http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/src/path.py).

Hi there, I've noticed that os.path.normpath does not collapse redundant separators if they're located at the beginning of the string: \a\b\c \\a\b\c Is it intentional or is it a bug?

Hello, os.path.split returns the head and tail of a path, but what if I want to have all the components ? I could not find a portable way to do this in the standard library, so I've concocted the following function. It uses os.path.split to be portable, at the expense of efficiency. ---------------------------------- def parse_path(path):
