New submission from Andrés Delfino <adelf...@gmail.com>: Both fnmatch.fnmatchase and fnmatch.filter (in Unix) do not support path-like objects.
This is inconvenient, for example, when taking advantage of os.scandir and working with os.DirEntry objets. Also, fnmatch.filter in Windows does support path-like objects, since it uses os.path.normcase (which works with path-like objects), so the change for Unix would add consistency. I propose for both functions to accept path-like objects, and in the case of fnmatch.filter, to return the path-like object if it matches the pattern (as it does now for Windows). ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 330992 nosy: adelfino priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add support for __fspath__ to fnmatch.fnmatchase and filter type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35396> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
