There were reasons why something like PurePath.normalize() was not added at first place. os.path.normpath() is broken by design. It does not work as you expect in case when the .. component is preceeded by a symlink. Its behvior can lead to bugs and maybe even security issues. We did not want to add something so dubious in the pathlib module. Path.resolve() is the correct way. So I suggest to close this issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38924> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
