New submission from Tim Hoffmann <tim.hoffm...@posteo.de>:
Path.home() may fail un (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/17707#issuecomment-647180252). 1. I think the raised key error is too low-level, and it should be something else; what exactly t.b.d. 2. The documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.home) should specify what happens in case of failure. 3. The documentation links to https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expanduser, but that's not correct. _PosixFlavor.gethomedir() implements it's own user lookup, which is slightly different from os.path.expanduser() ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 372116 nosy: timhoffm priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Error handling and documentation of Path.home() type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41082> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
