New submission from Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com>:
The importlib.metadata documentation states that the PackagePath class is "a pathlib.Path derived object". This isn't true - it's a PurePath subclass, and in particular it does not have a resolve() method. In fact, it has an undocumented custom locate() method that converts it into a Path object. I propose changing the documentation to make it clear that it is a PurePath subclass, and explicitly documenting the locate() method. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 392123 nosy: docs@python, paul.moore priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Importlib.metadata docs claim PackagePath is a Path subclass type: behavior versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43958> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
