New submission from Barney Gale <barney.g...@gmail.com>:
Following bpo-39899, bpo-43757 and bpo-43012, `pathlib._Flavour` and its subclasses are looking a bit pointless. The implementations of `is_reserved()` and `make_uri()` (~`as_uri()`) can be readily moved to into `PurePosixPath` and `PureWindowsPath`, which removes some indirection. This follows the pattern of OS-specific stuff in `PosixPath` and `WindowsPath`. The remaining methods, such as `splitroot()`, can be pulled into `Pure*Path` with an underscore prefix. I'm generally a believer in composition over inheritance, but in this case `_Flavour` seems too small and too similar to `PurePath` to separate out into 3 extra classes. There should be no impact on public APIs or performance. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 393685 nosy: barneygale priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove pathlib flavours type: behavior versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44136> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
