New submission from Anton Hvornum <[email protected]>:
I would like to propose that the `pathlib.Path()` gets a `in` operator, much
like that ipaddress has IP in Subnet, it would be nice if we could be able to
do:
```
import pathlib
pathlib.Path('/home/Torxed/machine.qcow2')
pathlib.Path('/home/Torxed/machine.qcow2') in pathlib.Path('/home/Torxed')
```
Currently that would generate:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: argument of type 'PosixPath' is not iterable
```
This would avoid "complicated" implementations such as:
*
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21411904/python-how-to-check-if-path-is-a-subpath
*
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3812849/how-to-check-whether-a-directory-is-a-sub-directory-of-another-directory
Which tend to be half-complete truths and would result in potential security
issues. pathlib.Path() could help prevent some of those.
