[New-bugs-announce] [issue24950] FAIL: test_expanduser when $HOME=/

[Felix Yan]

New submission from Felix Yan:

test_expanduser in test.test_posixpath.PosixPathTest fails when the users $HOME being exactly "/", after the patch in issue17809 was introduced.

test test_posixpath failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/build/python/src/Python-3.5.0rc2/Lib/test/test_posixpath.py", line 249, in test_expanduser
    self.assertEqual(posixpath.expanduser("~"), home.rstrip("/"))
AssertionError: '/' != ''
- /
+

Would it be appropriate to apply the rstrip() also to the left part of the equation?
