From ac9b5c67d35ee100ff1d80f4d55c307aab4ca4e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: R David Murray Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2012 14:37:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] #15342: Add clarifying sentence to posixpath.join docstring. This sentence appears as a clarifying note in the HTML docs, and seems worth having in the docstring since it covers a very common use case that isn't otherwise obvious. Thanks to Yongzhi Pan for the suggestion. --- Lib/posixpath.py | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Lib/posixpath.py b/Lib/posixpath.py index 690c70da374..5ddf25b1067 100644 --- a/Lib/posixpath.py +++ b/Lib/posixpath.py @@ -68,7 +68,8 @@ def isabs(s): def join(a, *p): """Join two or more pathname components, inserting '/' as needed.
