New submission from Alori <valor...@gmail.com>:
pathlib.Path supports deletion of both files (Path.unlink()) and directories (Path.rmdir()). Unfortunately, Path.rmdir() does not allow deletion of non-empty directories which means users must use shutil.rmtree() when deleting such paths. Since pathlib.Path already supports file and (empty) directory deletion, adding Path.rmtree(missing_ok=False) would support both the utility and the completeness of pathlib. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 354799 nosy: valorien priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add rmtree() to pathlib.Path type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38499> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
