Looking at Guido's removal of this back in 1999, he says:
"""
* Lib/ntpath.py:
Withdraw the UNC support from splitdrive(). Instead, a new function
splitunc() parses UNC paths. The contributor of the UNC parsing in
splitdrive() doesn't like it, but I haven't heard a good reason to
keep it, and it causes some problems. (I think there's a
philosophical problem -- to me, the split*() functions are purely
syntactical, and the fact that \\foo is not a valid path doesn't mean
that it shouldn't be considered an absolute path.)
"""
Do you have any comment on his philosophical problem? |
