[issue33428] pathlib.Path.glob does not follow symlinks

[Brian Sheldon]

Brian Sheldon <brianmshel...@gmail.com> added the comment:

Windows does not implement symlinks as junctions.  Windows has hardlinks, 
symlinks and junctions which are all distinctly different in behaviour.

I don't doubt that this is a Windows-specific issue, although I have not tested 
other platforms.  Path.glob and .rglob does work for junctions and hardlinks 
but glob.glob works consistently for all three.

[issue33428] pathlib.Path.glob does not follow symlinks

[Brian Sheldon]

New submission from Brian Sheldon <brianmshel...@gmail.com>:

Given a `pathlib.Path` that contains symlinked subfolders, `Path.glob` (and 
`.rglob`) do not follow symlinks.  This is not consistent with `glob.glob` 
which does.

For example given the following:
C:\Folder
C:\Folder\Subfolder -> D:\Subfolder
D:\Subfolder\File.txt

`pathlib.Path('C:/Folder').glob('**/*')` yields the following paths:
WindowsPath('C:/Folder/Subfolder')

`glob.glob('C:/Folder/**/*')` yields the following paths:
'C:/Folder\\Subfolder'
'C:/Folder\\Subfolder\\File.txt'

Notice how the contents of Subfolder are present in the `glob.glob` results but 
not for `Path.glob`.

I would expect `Path.glob` to be consistent with `glob.glob`.  This is not the 
only inconsistency (e.g. #22276, #31202) and perhaps `Path.glob` should be 
re-implemented using `glob.glob`.

This appears to be a duplicate of #22276
