kwutil.util_windows module

Microsoft Windows related helpers.

kwutil.util_windows.fix_msys_path(path)

Windows is so special. When using msys bash if you pass a path on the CLI it resolves /c to C:/, but if you have you path as part of a config string, it doesnt know how to do that, and at that point Python doesn’t handle the msys style /c paths. This is a hack detects and fixes this in this location.

Example

>>> from kwutil.util_windows import *  # NOQA
>>> print(fix_msys_path('/c/Users/foobar'))
C:/Users/foobar
>>> print(fix_msys_path(r'\c\Users\foobar'))
C:/Users\foobar
>>> print(fix_msys_path(r'\d\Users\foobar'))
D:/Users\foobar
>>> print(fix_msys_path(r'\z'))
Z:/
>>> import pathlib
>>> assert fix_msys_path(pathlib.Path(r'\z')) == pathlib.Path('Z:/')

kwutil.util_windows.is_windows_path(path)

Example

>>> from kwutil.util_windows import *  # NOQA
>>> assert is_windows_path('C:')
>>> assert is_windows_path('C:/')
>>> assert is_windows_path('C:\\')
>>> assert is_windows_path('C:/foo')
>>> assert is_windows_path('C:\\foo')
>>> assert not is_windows_path('/foo')
