Fix handling of partial and invalid UNC drives in
ntpath.splitdrive()
, and inntpath.normpath()
on non-Windows systems.Paths such as
\\server
and\\
are now considered bysplitdrive()
to contain only a drive, and consequently are not modified bynormpath()
on non-Windows systems. The behaviour ofnormpath()
on Windows systems is unaffected, as native OS APIs are used.This brings the Python implementation of
ntpath.normpath()
more in line with the C implementation added in 99fcf15.Implementation by @eryksun. I added tests and NEWS.
