<br>
as I said:<br>
if, from the python bindings, I open a file with a name starting with '/' while in a transaction then as expected, the file is opened inside the installroot<br>
<br>
however, if I open a file with a name NOT starting with '/' then the file is opened OUTSIDE of the installroot.<br>
<br>
Does this make any sense? B/c I admit I don't quite grok why it would be this way.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

chroot() changes the root directory of the calling process to that<br>
specified in path. This directory will be used for pathnames beginning<br>
with /. The root directory is inherited by all children of the calling<br>
process.<br>
