I did complain about their lack of knowledge but I also have a right to
complain about a function that converts an explicitly specified
directory into a file:-)
Well, they're getting exactly the behaviour I'd expect them to get (and
not getting what they expect). I'm faintly gobsmacked that anyone
expects something like that to work. If you want a directory, create
it. That's what os.mkdir (and the pathlib equivalent) is for.
