Anthony Baxter ae7639dbfb whitespace fixup. test__all__ and test_sundry were failing
for me on linux because of the inconsistent whitespace.

Jack Jansen 992d58b770 Fixes based on ideas from Christopher Smith:
- islink() now returns true for alias files
- walk() no longer follows aliases while traversing
- realpath() implemented, returning an alias-free pathname.

As this could conceivably break existing code I think it isn't a bugfix candidate.

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'

Skip Montanaro 17ab123cf1 a few more modules get __all__ 2001-01-24 06:27:27 +00:00
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.

Jack Jansen 2fc0109375 Rewrite of normpath() by Corran Webster, so trailing :s are removed
(except for : and volume:, where they are needed).

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 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.

Fred Drake 69f87c580d getsize(), getatime(), getmtime():
Constants from stat module were imported using "import *";
	don't access them via stat.ST_*!

	Reported by that other vR.  ;-)

Guido van Rossum 5c1d2297ea Instead of 'import mac', use 'import os' -- this way, the path syntax
manipulation routines can be used on non-Mac platforms (e.g. to
manipulate pathnames in a Mac specific archive).

Guido van Rossum 7e4b2def34 changes for the Mac 1995-01-27 02:41:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7aeb4b9ce8 * Lib/linecache.py: don't crash on empty filename
* Lib/macpath.py: don't return trailing colon for dirname()
	(XXX won't do for volume names -- but otherwise glob(':*:*.py')
	loops forever)
	* Lib/traceback.py: print SyntaxError correctly
	* Lib/stat.py: moved to posixstat.py; added macstat.py which has
	the constants for the Mac; and created new stat.py which includes
	the right one
	* Lib/urllib.py: fix caching bug (by disabling the cache)
