No can do. On my Mac I could execute:
>>> import ntpath
>>> print ntpath.dirname("C:\\system\\win32")
C:\system
Calling isdir() is not an option.
Taken another way, "/usr/bin" is a path to a file, so "/usr" is its
directory component. and "bin" is its basename:
>>> os.path.dirname("/usr/bin")
'/usr'
>>> os.path.basename("/usr/bin")
'bin'
That "/usr/bin" happens to also be a directory is beside the point.
