The ntpath Module
The ntpath
module (see Example 13-3) provides os.path
functionality on
Windows platforms. You can also use it to handle Windows
paths on other platforms.
Example 13-3. Using the ntpath Module
File: ntpath-example-1.py import ntpath file = "/my/little/pony" print "isabs", "=>", ntpath.isabs(file) print "dirname", "=>", ntpath.dirname(file) print "basename", "=>", ntpath.basename(file) print "normpath", "=>", ntpath.normpath(file) print "split", "=>", ntpath.split(file) print "join", "=>", ntpath.join(file, "zorba")isabs => 1
dirname => /my/little
basename => pony
normpath => \my\little\pony
split => ('/my/little', 'pony')
join => /my/little/pony\zorba
Note that this module treats both forward slashes ( / ) and backward slashes ( \ ) as directory separators.
