On Windows, with Python2/Python3, os.listdir('')/os.listdir(b'') list the content of the current working directory and os.listdir(u'')/os.listdir('') the content of C:\. On Linux the error "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''" is raised. I also noticed that os.listdir('C:') (without the \) lists the content of the cwd too.
