This is virtually a duplicate of issue33498. shutil.rmtree() is very complex function. It is not trivial task to remove directories and files recursively in safe and efficient way. It needs also a way to customize errors handling. We do not want to duplicate all this code in pathlib if shutil.rmtree() already supports path-like objects. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka resolution: -> duplicate stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed superseder: -> pathlib.Path wants an rmtree method _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40972> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
