New submission from Jan Bronicki <janbroni...@gmail.com>:
The `//` path should be equivalent to `/`, and in some ways, it does behave like that in pathlib. But in the `relative_to` method on a `Path` object, it does not work This is causing our CI pipeline to fail. In the documentation here you can see `//` being properly processed: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html ```python In [10]: x=Path("/Library/Video") ; x.relative_to(Path("/")) Out[10]: PosixPath('Library/Video') In [11]: x=Path("//Library/Video") ; x.relative_to(Path("/")) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) Input In [11], in <cell line: 1>() ----> 1 x=Path("//Library/Video") ; x.relative_to(Path("/")) File ~/.pyenv/versions/3.8.13/lib/python3.8/pathlib.py:908, in PurePath.relative_to(self, *other) 906 if (root or drv) if n == 0 else cf(abs_parts[:n]) != cf(to_abs_parts): 907 formatted = self._format_parsed_parts(to_drv, to_root, to_parts) --> 908 raise ValueError("{!r} does not start with {!r}" 909 .format(str(self), str(formatted))) 910 return self._from_parsed_parts('', root if n == 1 else '', 911 abs_parts[n:]) ValueError: '//Library/Video' does not start with '/' ``` ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 416336 nosy: John15321 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: pathlib method relative_to doesnt work with // in paths type: behavior versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue47161> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
