for some reason os.path.split was loosing the leading / for some
of my paths, this tests to see if it was there originally and
if it was, makes sure that its still present.
while head != os.path.sep and len(head) > 0:
head, tail = os.path.split(head)
path_list.insert(0, tail)
+ # FIXME: For some reason the above os.path.split lost the root '/'
+ if path[0] == os.path.sep and path_list[0] != os.path.sep:
+ path_list.insert(0, os.path.sep)
created_path = ""
for path_element in path_list:
created_path = os.path.join(created_path, path_element)
