os.path.normpath bug?

[billiejoex]

Hi there,
I've noticed that os.path.normpat h does not collapse redundant
separators if they're located at the beginning of the string:

>>print os.path.normpat h('/a//b//c')

\a\b\c

>>print os.path.normpat h('//a//b//c')

\\a\b\c

Is it intentional or is it a bug?
