Bug or feature? Slash in os and os.path

[Christian Tismer]

Hi all,

What is the desired behavior of os.listdir, os.path.listdir
and os.path.exists?

I wouldn't care if appending a slash is allowed or not,
but it should always be consistent.

>>> os.path.exists('D:/Back/RsServer/gm/xmls/gm/cicos/') # oops
0
>>> os.path.exists('D:/Back/RsServer/gm/xmls/gm/cicos') # ok
1
>>> os.path.isdir('D:/Back/RsServer/gm/xmls/gm/cicos/') # oops
0
>>> os.path.isdir('D:/Back/RsServer/gm/xmls/gm/cicos') # ok
1

>>> os.listdir('D:/Back/RsServer/gm/xmls/gm') # ok
['subsets', 'cicos', ...]

>>> os.listdir('D:/Back/RsServer/gm/xmls/gm/') # ok
['subsets', 'cicos', ...]
>>> 

ciao - chris
