New submission from Brett Cannon <br...@python.org>:
The question on how best to get an absolute path from a pathlib.Path object keeps coming up (see https://bugs.python.org/issue29688, https://discuss.python.org/t/add-absolute-name-to-pathlib-path/2882/, and https://discuss.python.org/t/pathlib-absolute-vs-resolve/2573 as examples). As pointed out across those posts, getting the absolute path is surprisingly subtle and varied depending on your needs. As such we should probably add a section somewhere in the pathlib docs explaining the various ways and why you would choose one over the other. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 358638 nosy: brett.cannon, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Document various options for getting the absolute path from pathlib.Path objects type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39090> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
