New PR up here: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/26153 The correspondence between `pathlib` and `os.path` is as follows: - `Path.resolve()` is roughly `os.path.realpath()` - `Path.absolute()` is roughly `os.path.abspath()` Differences: - `resolve()` always raises RuntimeError on symlink loops, whereas `realpath()` either raises OSError or nothing depending on *strict*. - `absolute()` doesn't normalize the path, whereas `abspath()` does. Normalizing without resolving symlinks can change the meaning of the path, so pathlib does the better thing here. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue29688> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
