splitdrive

Split the pathname path into a pair (drive, tail) where drive is either a mount point or the empty string. On systems which do not use drive specifications, drive will always be the empty string. In all cases, drive + tail will be the same as path.

Syntax

PYTHON Copy

os.path.splitdrive(path)

Examples

Example 1

PYTHON Copy

>>> splitdrive("c:/dir")
("c:", "/dir")

Example 2

>>> splitdrive("//host/computer/dir")
