Hi,
I was replacing some os.path stuff with Pathlib and I discovered this:
Path(256 * "x").is_file() # OSError
os.path.isfile(256 * "x") # bool
Is this intended? Does pathlib try to resemble os.path as closely as
possible?
You must have an very old version of Python. I'm running 3.12.2 and it
returns False.
It throws OSError with Python 3.11.8 on Linux.
Sorry, I should have said on Windows.
$ python

import pathlib
pathlib.Path(256 * "x").is_file()
