[Python-bugs-list] win32api.GetFullPathName (build 129) (PR#380)

[mhammond@skippinet.com.au]

Can anyone else here confirm that:

a) os.abspath('') on Linux does indeed return the CWD.
b) It is supposed to :-)

If confirmed, this would be a bug in ntpath.py.  It catches win32api
exceptions, and returns the input name in that case.  This would be
triggered by:

>>> win32api.GetFullPathName('')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
pywintypes.api_error: (127, 'GetFullPathName', 'The specified procedure
could not be found.')

Is this indeed something we should fix?

Mark.
