I can make the modifications if you like. After reading
http://docs.python.org/lib/os-path.html I noticed that even the
current directory '.' is not a constant, in Mac OS 9 it is actually
the colon ':'!

go ahead an i will have a look at the diffs and see if I cans seeanything else


(nb is there a side by side diff untility for svn?)

regards
gary

n.b. there is at least one place where '.' is used as an implicit constant and not put into a path
n.b. it might be a good idea if the unix syntax always works if possible because that allows cross platform compatability. note support for unix pathes is a part of the python paradigm


cf *normpath*( path)

   Normalize a pathname. This collapses redundant separators and
   up-level references so that |A//B|, |A/./B| and |A/foo/../B| all
   become |A/B|. It does not normalize the case (use normcase() for
   that). On Windows, it converts forward slashes to backward slashes.
   It should be understood that this may change the meaning of the path
   if it contains symbolic links!
as an example

I've already done a lot of this portability stuff in
the rest of relax so I can quickly go through and make all necessary
changes.

I have analysed the problem here and there are two things

1. the test case for a file called test___init__.py is currently assumed to be the class Test___init__(TestCase)
2. python will not accept classnames with trailing spaces (try it it's true!



regards gary

I'll have to think about the problem as well :)

Cheers,

Edward
