I'm sure it came up before that, I know it has for me, and I don't
happen to do any cross platform disk sharing. It is just a little more
soluble if you aren't doing disk sharing.

It can do that? I had no idea. Probably because I work on the Mac and
Linux almost exclusively, and hardly ever encounter a Windows box.

Actually it's a sign of how *nix/Windows focused Python is. It's sad to
see that someone thought to fix the problem for *nix/Windows, and didn't
even consider the Mac (as Just pointed out the problem has been know for
a long time). Frankly, it's also a symptom the the isolationist attitude
of a lot of Mac users/developers. and Don't get me started on the spaces
vs tabs thing!
Just,
Are you planning on putting together a PEP from all of this? I'd really
like to see this happen!
