[issue26429] os.path.dirname returns empty string instead of "." when file is in current directory

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

This is documented behavior and changing this will break existing code (for example see the implementation of glob.glob()).

If you need this, a workaround is simple and idiomatic: ``os.path.dirname(path) or os.curdir``.
