Err, I meant os.path.join instead of os.path.combine.

[issue35453] pathlib.Path: glob and rglob should accept PathLike patterns

[Cristian Ciupitu]

Cristian Ciupitu  added the comment:

What if the pattern has some directories in it, e.g. "SourceArt/**/*.png", how 
do you compose it? The traditional way is to either hardcode the separator 
(e.g. / or \) or use os.path.combine. I don't see why PurePath can't be used 
for this, e.g. PurePath('SourceArt')/"**'/'*.png'.

[issue35453] pathlib.Path: glob and rglob should accept PathLike patterns

[Cristian Ciupitu]

New submission from Cristian Ciupitu :

pathlib.Path.glob and pathlib.Path.rglob don't work with os.PathLike patterns.

Short example:

from pathlib import Path, PurePath
# fails
tuple(Path('/etc').glob(PurePath('passwd')))# TypeError
tuple(Path('/etc').rglob(PurePath('passwd')))   # TypeError
tuple(Path('C:\\').glob(PurePath('Windows')))   # AttributeError
tuple(Path('C:\\').rglob(PurePath('Windows')))  # AttributeError
# works
from os import fspath
tuple(Path('/etc').glob(fspath(PurePath('passwd'
tuple(Path('/etc').rglob(fspath(PurePath('passwd'
tuple(Path('C:\\').glob(fspath(PurePath('Windows'
tuple(Path('C:\\').rglob(fspath(PurePath('Windows'
