New submission from Armins Stepanjans <armins.bagr...@gmail.com>:
In the docs (https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.PurePath.relative_to) PurePath.relative_to() is specified to fail for arguments that are not on the original path (e.g. Path('/ham/beans').relative_to(Path('/spam'))). I believe it would be useful to extend the behaviour of relative_to so that it handles the case above. For example, I would expect Path('/ham/beans').relative_to(Path('/spam')) to return Path('../ham/beans'). If this sounds like a useful change I'd be happy to make a PR for it. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 380148 nosy: armins.bagrats priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: pathlib relative_to behaviour change type: behavior versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42234> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
