New submission from Barney Gale <barney.g...@gmail.com>:
The `pathlib.Path.home()` function looks like:
@classmethod
def home(cls):
"""Return a new path pointing to the user's home directory (as
returned by os.path.expanduser('~')).
"""
return cls(cls()._flavour.gethomedir(None))
If we add a `username=None` parameter and pass this to `gethomedir()` we can
easily add a lookup of another user's home directory, so:
import pathlib
username = 'phil'
pathlib.Path.home(username) == pathlib.Path('~' + username).expanduser()
