Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:
Just tested something that I'd assumed and it turned out I was wrong:
>>> p1 = PureWindowsPath(r"C:\a\b\..\c")
>>> p2 = PureWindowsPath(r"C:\a\c")
>>> p1 == p2
False
>>> p1, p2
(PureWindowsPath('C:/a/b/../c'), PureWindowsPath('C:/a/c'))
So PureWindowsPath already doesn't collapse '..' elements (as they could change
meaning in the presence of symlinks), so that's a point against the "what if
everyone started doing str(p1).lower() == str(p2).lower() instead" argument.
