If you want a short path name, you should use win32api.GetShortPathName().
Attempting to compute it yourself isn’t as straight forward as you think.

Hi,
Purpose: obtaining the system (“short”) path from a full path
Background: File dialogs (visual studio) return a full path (e.g.
f=“C:\this path has spaces\thisfilenameislongerthan8char.txt”). If
