Package: libpython3.7-stdlib
Version: 3.7.3-2+deb10u1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/lib/python3.7/pathlib.py
I expected pathlib glob() to behave like sh glob.
I shot myself in the foot because of an unexpected difference.
Please document this difference to protect other sysadmins.
bash5$ ls
bash5$ touch f
bash5$ mkdir d
bash5$ ls -d *
d f
bash5$ ls -d */
d/
bash5$ dash -c 'ls -d *'
d f
bash5$ dash -c 'ls -d */'
d/
bash5$ python3.7 -c 'import pathlib;
print(list(pathlib.Path(".").glob("*")))'
[PosixPath('d'), PosixPath('f')]
bash5$ python3.7 -c 'import pathlib;
print(list(pathlib.Path(".").glob("*/")))'
[PosixPath('d'), PosixPath('f')]
I'm thinking something simple like this in Doc/library/pathlib.rst:
Note that (unlike sh and bash) a pattern with a trailing slash will still
match regular files.
PS: I guess this also applies to Doc/library/glob.rst as well?
I avoid glob.glob() because it had no way to separate the "static" part from
the "pattern" part.
e.g. glob.glob(args.path + '/*.deb') is not safe. pathlib fixes that, yay!
