Hi, It seems that the Path module as currently defined leaves equality testing up to the underlying string comparison. My guess is that this is fine for Unix (maybe not even) but it is a bit lacking for Windows.
Should the path class implement an __eq__ method that might do some of the following things: - Get the absolute path of both self and the other path - normcase both - now see if they are equal This would make working with paths much easier for keys of a dictionary on windows. (I frequently use a case insensitive string class for paths if I need them to be keys of a dict.)
