MSYS/MINGW64 and Cygwin are POSIX runtime environments implemented in DLLs, but
they're layered over Windows and can thus support Windows paths such as
r"C:\Temp" in additi

I don't think is cross-platform, because I'm still on Windows but in different
shells. More over, pathlib currently support cross-platform comparison. I can
save a configuration file on Linux and open it on Windows with such paths. I
use myPath.as_posix() t

Sorry, but these paths are not equal in in any sense that Python by itself can
determine. Support for doing this kind of comparison would have to come from
MingGW or cygwin, and even if a python library exposed those capabilities, it
would be via some new
New submission from Patrick Lehmann :
pathlib does not compare absolute paths from Windows and MinGW as equal.
Windows absolute path: "C:\path\to\tool"
MinGW absolute path: "/c/path/to/tool"
Cygwin absolute path: "/cygdrive/c/path/to/tool"
I consider this a bug, because it's the same bug but 3
