New submission from David Barnett: There doesn't seem to be any helper in pathlib to expand a relative path to an absolute path *without* resolving symlinks.
For example, if I want to convert pathlib.Path('some/path') to pathlib.Path('/full/path/to/some/path') where some/path is a symlink, my best option seems to be pathlib.Path(os.path.abspath(str(pathlib.Path('some/path')))) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 249936 nosy: mu_mind priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: pathlib should allow converting to absolute paths without resolving symlinks type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25012> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
