Antony Lee <[email protected]> added the comment:
A problem of having this bit of state in paths is that it violates assumptions
based on immutability/hashability, e.g. with
from pathlib import Path
p = Path("foo")
q = Path("foo")
with p: pass
unique_paths = {p, q}
print(len(unique_paths)) # == 1, as p == q
for path in unique_paths:
print(path.resolve()) # Fails if the path is closed.
The last line fails with `unique_paths = {p, q}` as p has been closed (and
apparently sets keep the first element when multiple "equal" elements are
passed in), but not with `unique_paths = {q, p}`.
It would also prevent optimizations based on immutability as proposed in
https://bugs.python.org/issue39783.
