New submission from Ram Rachum:
I have a a PurePath object like so:
path = PurePath('/home/my awesome user/file.txt')
I'm SSHing into a server and I want to remove the file. So I have to do this:
ssh_client.run(f'/bin/rm {shlex.quote(str(path))}')
Which is really long and ugly. (I might have been able to remove the str from
there if #28623 wasn't rejected.)
I wish I could do this:
ssh_client.run(f'/bin/rm {path}')
But since my path has a space, that would only be possible if PurePath.__str__
were to use shlex.quote, and put quotes around my path (only if it includes a
space).
What do you think about that?
