Body
copied!<h2>I want my Project, built in PYTHON to support Windows Linux MAC in any terminal(MAC, CYGWIN, Windows etc). I can able to achieve but I am facing some issue When I run the following</h2> <pre><code>import os mypath = os.path.join('users','scripts', 'pythonsample') print mypath </code></pre> <h2>In windows command prompt output is</h2> <pre><code>users\scripts\pythonsample </code></pre> <h2>In MAC terminal output is</h2> <pre><code>users/scripts/pythonsample </code></pre> <h2>Also, when I run the following code</h2> <pre><code>import glob glob.glob(os.path.join('users','scripts', 'pythonsample','*.*')) </code></pre> <h2>In windows command prompt output is</h2> <pre><code>[users/scripts\\pythonsample\\a1.py, users/scripts\\pythonsample\\a2.py, users/scripts\\pythonsample\\a3.py users/scripts\\pythonsample\\a4.py] </code></pre> <h2>In MAC terminal output is</h2> <pre><code>[users/scripts/pythonsample/a1.py, users/scripts/pythonsample/a2.py, users/scripts/pythonsample/a3.py users/scripts/pythonsample/a4.py] </code></pre> <h2>So to parse and get get the name of the file without whole path becomes difficult in multiple platforms.</h2> <p>I can write a if else block to decide whether the script is running in Windows or MAC or CGYWIN. </p> <pre><code>import sys #Output of below command is Win32, linux2, darwin, cgywin print(sys.platform) </code></pre> <p>but is there a easy way to accomplish this with out if else block? </p>
