Hello! I found strange os.path.join() behavior on Windows. It works fine in common case. >>> os.path.join("C", "filename") 'C\\filename' But if first argument is "C:" there are no backslashes added at all! >>> os.path.join("C:", "filename") 'C:filename' But I expect two inserted backslashes... >>> sys.version '3.4.1 \|Anaconda 2.1.0 (64-bit)\| (default, Sep 24 2014, 18:32:42) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)]' Is there a bug? Thanks!

Hello!

I found strange os.path.join() behavior on Windows.

It works fine in common case.
>>> os.path.join("C", "filename")
'C\\filename'

But if first argument is "C:" there are no backslashes added at all!

>>> os.path.join("C:", "filename")
'C:filename'

But I expect two inserted backslashes...

>>> sys.version
'3.4.1 |Anaconda 2.1.0 (64-bit)| (default, Sep 24 2014, 18:32:42) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)]'

Is there a bug?
Thanks!
