I've just filed bug #776207: test_posixpath fails on MacOS9. The problem is that it expects posixpath.ismount('/') to return true. But on OS9 it returns false. I'm unsure as to the correct behaviour of this on non-posix systems, does anyone have a suggestion? How does it behave on Windows? Should test_posixpath maybe only run some of the tests on non-posix systems?
