New submission from Alexander Heger <[email protected]>:
Passing an empty string to pathlib.Path.glob fails.
Example
```
from pathlib import Path
path = Path('./myfile.txt')
path.glob('')
```
The result is:
```
~/Python/lib/python3.8/pathlib.py in glob(self, pattern)
1129 """
1130 if not pattern:
-> 1131 raise ValueError("Unacceptable pattern:
{!r}".format(pattern))
1132 drv, root, pattern_parts = self._flavour.parse_parts((pattern,))
1133 if drv or root:
ValueError: Unacceptable pattern: ''
```
This is not the desired or expected behaviour, which would be to just return
`path` if it exists. This behaviour is also inconsistent with the
documentation which states (Python 3.8.5):
"""
Glob the given relative pattern in the directory represented by this path,
yielding all matching files (of any kind):
"""
And it is in contrast to the behaviour of glob.glob, which is just fine with
the empty string, returning an empty list.
