[GRLUG] Paths

[Ben DeMott]

I feel like a noob asking this, and probably will be chastized for asking,

I was coding away today ... and I realized (not sure why I never noticed
before) that python seemed to think //etc//httpd//conf.d was a perfectly
legitimate directory name.

I then opened my terminal (bash) and was surprised to find that typing `cd
//etc//httpd//conf.d`  worked just fine.

Is this a feature - or am I missing the point about something - and secondly
would it be wise to allow this behaviour in my program for when an
individual specifies a path?
