Currently it is not obvious that os.devnull works on Windows. |

If there’s no note stating some object is only available on one platform, then it’s available for all. That said, for this case I agree with your patch. |

Given the mention of the posix example, I agree. The issue applies to 2.6 and 3.2 (that I checked) and so I assume to 2.7 and 3.1 also. There is no doc string for devnull, which I presume should be in ntpath. >>> help(os.devnull) no Python documentation found for 'nul' If this is a singular omission (as opposed to a general lack in that module), you might expand the patch to remedy that also. |

os.devnull is a string, so “pydoc os.devnull” will tell you about
strings, and “help(os.devnull)” will be evaluated to
“help('/dev/null')” which won’t match any topic. Same thing with os.sep
and other module data; the doc is in the module’s docstring.
