Only Path.expanduser() special cases tilde as a POSIX shell would. Otherwise "~" is not a reserved filename character in POSIX. Path('~') is a file named "~" that's relative to the current working directory. By coincidence the working directory is the user's home directory in your example. ---------- nosy: +eryksun resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38246> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
