Ok, I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, but I can't see what.
I'm playing around with pathlib (Python 3.4.2) on Mac OSX, Yosemite.
In the past I've used os.path.expanduser() to expand paths with ~. Based on
the description, I would have expected .resolve to do that automatically, but
it doesn't seem to work.
Is this a bug, oversight or design choice?
Here's my example of what I was doing:
>>> p = Path('~/.profile')
>>> p
PosixPath('~/.profile')
>>> p.resolve
<bound method PosixPath.resolve of PosixPath('~/.profile')>
>>>
>>> p.resolve()
