***catonano_ is now known as catonano
<emys>is there a procedure I can use to get the absolute path for a relative path supplied as an argument?
<emys>like (abs '.') ; => "/home/....."
<tohoyn>emys: getcwd returns the current working directory
<emys>tohoyn, ok, bad example what if I want to have a user-supplied path like `../lsjdfk/asdfs` expanded to the absolute path
<emys>kind of looking for a guile equivalent to https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/os.path.html#os.path.abspath
***apteryx_ is now known as apteryx
***rekado_ is now known as rekado
<rekado>emys: you are probably looking for canonicalize-path

<alextee[m]>msys2/mingw

<manumanumanu>I shit you not: mac os x decided to re-map my paragraph sign to the swedish letter ö in the last update.
<nalkri>at least it wasn't å
<manumanumanu>which makes for all sorts of problems: it is my emacs leader key, I use alt+ö (meaning paragraph) to summon my quake-style terminal
<manumanumanu>and it is just extremely annoying
<rekado>dsmith: I wonder how much of this is missing in Geiser
