sqlpage.path

Is it possible to get the path with the default backslash from sqlpage.path() on Windows, as well as get it as is without encoding? To avoid additional decoding. Alternatively, add additional parameters to the sqlpage.path() function?

Hi! Can you tell us more about what you are doing and what you need this for?

Currently, the task is preserving access rights to pages in the database. In principle, page paths could be stored in the format currently returned by sqlpage.path(), but for simple comparison without path encoding, they have to be stored with standard slashes, which Windows standardly interprets as parameter identifiers. Unfortunately, Windows interprets paths with backslashes, so it would be nice if the function could return data appropriate for the OS SQLPage is running on, like the sqlpage.current_working_directory() function, which returns the path with a backslash.
Recoding is also not always convenient when paths are needed to access files through OS functionality.
Of course, it's not absolutely necessary to add the mentioned features to sqlpage.path() with the proposed option; their absence isn't fatal. But it seemed quite reasonable to me that sqlpage.path() would benefit from them; it would add convenience.
