Invalid prefix in Swagger.

[PraveshKoirala]

I am using python 2.7 and rest framework 3.5.
As the title suggests, the prefix is invalid in swagger. It's best shown by this image.

Expected behavior

The prefixes should have been "api" and "auth" instead of "pi" and "uth".

I suspect that it is due to the behavior of "os.path.commonprefix" in python 2.7

Okay, thanks - can you include a minimal example that demonstrates reproducing the issue?

[tomchristie]

Confirmed. Register two API views with the URLs given above, and seeing the same issue.

This function is in the wrong place, and has nothing to do with paths, don't use it if you are interested in file paths!

Thanks for the link Tom :D :D

That usage bug was reported 14 years ago.

If anyone fancies making their first contribution to Python (2.7 docs), it'd be a good one to deal with! 😄

Don't bother, Python 2.7 doc update patches are rejected.

Forget about that, there's a confusion with earlier 3.x releases.
