I'm closing this as "wontfix".

Amjad, if you'd like to discuss this further, please bring it up on 
python-ideas.

Serhiy, as the expert for the os.path module, FYI.

Yes, it's cross platform.

For a plain string version, you can use a utility function:

>>> for i in range(n+1):
...   path = os.path.dirname(path)
...

I'm not sure it's worth adding this to os.path.

Yes but i dont know if this is cross platform solution, i guess this function 
should be in the os.path module.

Path.parents will do what you want. I don't have a Windows box handy, but this 
is on MacOS:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> p = 
>>> Path("/Users/User/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python36/Lib/asyncio/__init__.py")
>>> p.parents[1]
PosixPath('/Users/User/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python36/Lib')
>>>
