Jens Diemer added the comment: I have made https://github.com/jedie/pathlib_revised to address this, see: https://github.com/jedie/pathlib_revised#windows-max_path
The idea is to add a property (I call it 'extended_path') and this will add the \\?\ prefix on all absolute path under windows. Under non-Windows the property will return ".path" And i patch methods like 'chmod', 'unlink', 'rename' etc. to use the 'extended_path' property and i add more methods like 'link', 'listdir', 'copyfile' etc. The source code is here: https://github.com/jedie/pathlib_revised/blob/master/pathlib_revised/pathlib.py This is another thing: Why are not all filesystem access methods implemented in pathlib?!? e.g.: There is Path.unlink() but no Path.link() There is Path.rmdir() but no Path.chdir() and many more. And the last thing is: Why is pathlib so bad designed? It's ugly to extend it.
