New submission from Colin David Chen:
os.walk in 3.6rc1 (Windows) appears to generate different output depending on
its invocation.
In the first invocation, I use the generator to yield one result at a time:
source = "C:\\cdchen_data\\downloads\\python-xlib-0.18\\"
texasranger = os.walk(Path(source))
roottree = [next(texasranger)]
roottree[0][0]
Output:
'C:\\cdchen_data\\downloads\\python-xlib-0.18'
The same result occurs when using the generator in a for loop.
In the second invocation, I generate the complete list first:
sourcetree = [x for x in os.walk(source)]
sourcetree[0][0]
Output:
'C:\\cdchen_data\\downloads\\python-xlib-0.18\\'
The particular behavior causing me trouble is the omission in the first result
of the final '\\'. I checked in 2.7.6 and os.walk is consistent and I believe
more correct in that it will yield equivalent results and includes the '\\'.
Not sure if earlier Python 3 implementations have this problem, I couldn't get
3.5 to run this function without failing.
