[03:54] <lifeless> sometimes I hate python
[03:54] <lifeless> >>> os.path.normpath('//home/robertc')
[03:54] <lifeless> '//home/robertc'
[03:54] <lifeless> >>>
[03:54] <lifeless> robertc@lifeless-64:~$ pydoc os.path.normpath
[03:54] <lifeless> Help on function normpath in os.path:
[03:54] <lifeless> os.path.normpath = normpath(path)
[03:54] <lifeless>     Normalize path, eliminating double slashes, etc.
[04:00] <nigelb> This works
[04:00] <nigelb> >>> os.path.normpath('/home//nigel')
[04:00] <nigelb> '/home/nigel'
[04:01] <nigelb> But yeah, bug.
[04:18] <lifeless> nigelb: deliberate
[04:18] <lifeless> nigelb: but the docs do not tell you :<
[04:19] <nigelb> lifeless: Katie Cunningham said this part of her pycon talk - The documentation always lies. Because developers write it and we lie.
[04:22] <lifeless> nigelb: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap04.html#tag_04_11
[04:22] <lifeless> nigelb: 'A pathname that begins with two successive slashes may be interpreted in an implementation-defined manner, although more than two leading slashes shall be treated as a single slash.'
[04:23] <nigelb> lifeless: Ha.
[04:23] <nigelb> How much time did you spend searching for that?
[04:24] <lifeless> to show you? < 120 seconds
[04:24] <lifeless> after seeing the code? 0, I didn't care enough to do anything other than work around it.
[04:26] <nigelb> heh
[04:27] <lifeless> evil genius at work
[04:27] <lifeless> second version can be good, this version just has to rock
[04:27] <nigelb> I will admit to looking at LP source when I've gotten confused with the apidoc. It is vastly easier.
[06:39] <wgrant> lifeless: You're around tomorow?
[06:40] <wgrant> +r
[06:40] <lifeless> wgrant: AFAIK yes
[06:40] <nigelb> wgrant: I thought you were giving him a review. Bah. +r r+.
[06:40] <wgrant> lifeless: Great.
[06:40] <wgrant> lifeless: Will probably need a bit of live index creation.
[06:40] <lifeless> anzac day is wednesday
[06:40] <lifeless> stub is back too
[06:40] <wgrant> I intend to enable BugTaskFlat for ~launchpad tomorrow
[06:40] <wgrant> Ah, true.
[06:40] <lifeless> sweet
[06:41] <wgrant> Yeah, Anzac Day is Wed here too
[06:41] <lifeless> so lets not enable stuff tuesday :)
