(original) (raw)
I've noticed in pathlib.py the following error on line 39
if sys.getwindowsversion()\[:2\] >= (6, 0) and sys.version\_info >= (3, 2):
it should be:-
if sys.getwindowsversion()\[2:\] >= (6, 0) and sys.version\_info >= (3, 2):
I'm also quite uneasy on the case insensitive comparison on Windows as the File system NTFS is case sensitive.
"""Current Windows file systems, like NTFS, are case-sensitive; that is a readme.txt and a Readme.txt can exist in the same directory. Windows disallows the user to create a second file differing only in case due to compatibility issues with older software not designed for such operation.""" �(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case\_sensitivity)
If people create .PY files it wouldn't work on Linux so why make it work on windows?
Cheers

Thanks. Both errors are now fixed.
