7 years ago On my Windows network drive os.path.samefile() seems to return True regardless of input paths. In my case this results in an error trying to save checkpoints of jupyter notebooks on this drive. I am using Windows 7, my working directory is located on a network drive that is offline-available (CSC cache). Tracing this problem back it seems to have something to do with nt._getfinalpathname() reporting a wrong result.
