New submission from Antony Lee <anntzer....@gmail.com>:
After
$ mkdir -p foo/bar && chmod 000 foo
one gets
In [1]: glob.glob("foo/bar")
Out[1]: []
but
In [2]: list(Path("foo/bar").glob("*"))
gives a PermissionError.
I'm not arguing that pathlib should reproduce glob's behavior (in fact I think
raising an exception is better in this case), but this could be better
documented (os.walk does indicate that "By default, errors from the scandir()
call are ignored." whereas I don't think either glob or pathlib docs mention
this point at all).
Compare with https://bugs.python.org/issue24120, which relates to unreadable
directories found *inside* the toplevel directory.
