Guido van Rossum 83eeef4b06 SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks: 
Once upon a time, I put together a little function
   that tries to find the canonical filename for a given
   pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to
   turning it into a proper patch with documentation.
   On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as
   that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are
   encountered in the path.

   Example:
   >>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X')
   '/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

Fred Drake 56a71eee65 Add a version annotation for splitdrive(); old, but as long as I managed 
to end up with the information, it is better recorded than lost.

Fred Drake 3aecfc9681 Explained that os.path.basename() may return something different from the 
basename program, as suggested by Gregor Hoffleit <gregor@hoffleit.de>.

This closes bug #119485.

Skip Montanaro 297bf7ceb5 update commonprefix doc to make sure user is aware it works 
character-by-character and that that behavior may result in it returning
prefixes that are not valid paths

Fred Drake aa1afa8d30 Added availability notes for samefile(), sameopenfile(), samestat() 
since these are not available on Windows.

Fred Drake 0256c1f453 Document splitdrive(). 
For all split*(), these split path *into* pairs, not split path *in*
pairs.  "Into" can be used for transformations, "in" is for
containment.
 1999-02-03 19:24:44 +00:00
Fred Drake a9b9bf96fe Change this to be os.path. 
Use consistent parameter naming with the os documentation (paths
always named "path" or "path1", "path2"...).
 1999-02-02 18:58:33 +00:00
Fred Drake b23ee1d899 Make the text generic, and call it os.path instead of posixpath. 1999-02-01 20:20:39 +00:00

Fred Drake 64e3b43583 Move files around to get the names to match the module names except for 
case.  Two modules (SocketServer, BaseHTTPServer) still don't match; those
names are just too long!
