I think the default behavior of os.path.join() when None is passed as the first argument should be to translate it to '' by default. >>> import os >>> os.path.join(None, 'somewhere') 'somewhere' vs the current >>> import os >>> os.path.join(None, 'somewhere') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 68, in join elif path == '' or path.endswith('/'): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith'

I think the default behavior of os.path.join() when None is passed as the first argument should be to translate it to '' by default.

>>> import os
>>> os.path.join(None, 'somewhere')
'somewhere'

vs the current

>>> import os
>>> os.path.join(None, 'somewhere')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 68, in join
    elif path == '' or path.endswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith'
