[Jython-dev] os.makedirs() : should it normalize?

[dman <ds...@ri...>]

In both Jython and CPython (2.1),
    os.makedirs( "~/tmp/not/./new" )
fails, however
    os.makedirs( "~/tmp/not//new" )
succeeds.

The GNU 'mkdir' program works with either path (if --parents argument
is given, or all but last directory exist).

Should os.makedirs() call os.normalize() first, or is this supposed to
be a client responsibility?
