Python 2.7 on Windows converts the URL path '/C\|/' to a naked drive letter 'C:'. C:\src>c:\Python27\python.exe -c "import urllib;print urllib.url2pathname('/C\|/')" C: C:\src> Expected and I believe the correct output would be C:\, not C:. Reason is that a naked drive letter C: means "current directory in drive C:", whereas C:\ means "root directory in drive C:". So if you happen to start your application in "C:\src" for example, the output "C:" is interpreted as "C:\src", not as "C:\".
