Since I am fairly new to Python, I realize there is much that I still don't know but I don't understand how Windows can have reserved names on a Linux system. What am I missing?
A PureWindowsPath (and PurePosixPath and PurePath) is a theoretical -- it's still, basically, a string and hasn't been checked against the file system to see if it actually exists (or to create it, etc.). A WindowsPath (PosixPath) does actually have a tie-in to the actual file system, and can only be instantiated on Windows (Posix) systems. -- ~Ethan~ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
