The macurl2path Module

(Implementation) The macurl2path module, shown in Example 13-14, contains code to map between URLs and Macintosh filenames. It should not be used directly; use the mechanisms in urllib instead.

Example 13-14. Using the macurl2path Module

File: macurl2path-example-1.py

import macurl2path

file = ":my:little:pony"

print macurl2path.pathname2url(file)
print macurl2path.url2pathname(macurl2path.pathname2url(file))

my/little/pony
