  • it kind of makes sense that the os library might have difficulties when mixing and matching components from different OS's. its also likely that the issue is in the Mac file system abstraction, or in their NTFS drivers. Python doesn't likely try to support filesystems themselves, but instead use the OS to present directory structures in a uniform manner. Commented Jan 24, 2022 at 21:19
  • @Frank, Yes, that's probably true. The next step is to try a 'proper' ntfs handler on macos like ntfs-3g or similar, and try it again.
