According to https://docs.python.org/dev/library/undoc.html the 'ntpath' module is an "Implementation of os.path on Win32 and Win64 platforms". Just like all other Windows-specific modules(like winreg),'ntpath' must not be available for use on a POSIX system like Linux. I guess that 'posixpath' is also available on Windows, that if it is, it must not be available too. |

No, ntpath and posixpath are cross-platform. They are tested on all platforms, and the os.path documentation lists them and notes that "you can also import and use the individual modules if you want to manipulate a path that is always in one of the different formats". |

@eryksun So modify the documentation to note that they're operable on both platforms. I've seen that ntpath worked on my Linux system, but the documentation was misleading. |
