Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:

I agree it's worth improving the error message (and probably the docs too).

It's never made clear that relative_to only looks deeper (won't ever generate 
leading ".." parts) - the closest hint in the docs is that os.path.relpath is 
different (and that isn't even in the relative_to() section).


Tagging this easy/newcomer friendly. If you'd like to work on it, just post 
here - I'm happy to help get it merged.
