Tim Peters cf5e6a4a5d SF bug [#469732] os.path.walk docstring inconsistent.
We have 5 implementations of walk(), and 5 different docstrings.  Combined
'em.  Let's see how long it takes before they're all different again!

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 8152d32375 Update the code to better reflect recommended style:
Use != instead of <> since <> is documented as "obsolescent".
Use "is" and "is not" when comparing with None or type objects.

Fred Drake b4e460ac4b Avoid import of string module; it is only needed for expandvars().
Never assume that os.sep is for the module-specific platform; use the
right separator character directly.
Fix some minor style consistency nits.

Tim Peters ceeda0e9ba Treat trailing colon in os.path.join("a:", "b") same way for DOS as in
recent changes to ntpath.py and posixmodule.c.  Thanks to Guido for
pointing out the inconsistency!

Skip Montanaro 97bc98aea7 fixed semantics of commonprefix to work by path elements instead of
characters.

Guido van Rossum 46d565111e getatime() returned the mtime instead of the atime.
Similar to an old bug in ntpath.py.

Guido van Rossum 4b8c6eaf8b Actually, the previous batch's comment should have been different;
*this* set of patches is Ka-Ping's final sweep:

The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.

A new docstring was added to formatter.  The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.

Guido van Rossum 54f22ed30b More trivial comment -> docstring transformations by Ka-Ping Yee,
who writes:

Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs.
Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a
couple of missing docstrings and attempted to make sure more
module docstrings begin with a one-line summary.

I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for
fear of upsetting any careful optimizations there, though
i did move class documentation into class docstrings.

The convention i'm using is to leave credits/version/copyright
type of stuff in # comments, and move the rest of the descriptive
stuff about module usage into module docstrings.  Hope this is
okay.

Guido van Rossum b485224d82 REMOVE samefile(), sameopenfile(), samestat() -- these cannot be made
to work reliably (at least I wouldn't know how).

Guido van Rossum 0d530cedd7 Faster implementation of normcase (using string.lower(
string.replace(...)) instead of a for loop).

Don't call normcase() in normpath() -- the filesystem just might be
case preserving...

Guido van Rossum bfa9f13e14 islink() returns false, but there is no constant false! Return 0 instead. 1997-11-04 18:40:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ae590db3ce Fix join to support multiple arguments.
(Why isn't this file identical to ntpath.py?)
