New submission from Rasmus Bondesson <[email protected]>:
Create a symlink that points to file that doesn't exist:
ln -s /nonexisting_file my_symlink
Then try to glob for that symlink from Python using pathlib:
python3
>>> import pathlib
>>> list(pathlib.Path(".").glob("my_symlink"))
[]
>>> list(pathlib.Path(".").glob("my_symlink*"))
[PosixPath('my_symlink')]
I'm a bit surprised that these two globs do not return the same results.
Personally I would expect both to find the symlink.
Is this behaviour a bug or is it intentional?
