If a match is True, it means that what is matched must be some kind of valid path matching a glob specification. Whether it is a regular expression, or anything else. If one did $(ls pattern) one would list the paths that matches the pattern, and hence a path. Agreed that the pattern itself is not necessarily a fixed/single path, but a shell glob path. Yet, matches will regardless be a path. As for the use case I want to assert a files path has a parent that matches another directory/filename something like this: ref_file = Path("hello") for f in dir.iterdir(): if f.parent.match(ref_file): <do something> in the real application the match is a bit more complex with nested directories as well as a recursive iterator. Lastly, you say: > That said, I don't understand why it is desirable to use a Path as the match > argument. I am on the other side: I don't understand why it is undesirable to use a Path as the match argument. :) A simple if isinstance(pattern, PurePath): pattern = str(pattern) would suffice. Or possibly str(pattern.expanduser()) for consistency. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45889> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
