Now this is an interesting #Python problem. I don't know if it's a #bug, but it's a change in behaviour that I don't see documented.

I upgraded from #Debian 12/Bookworm to 13/Trixie, so the default Python3 changed from 3.11 to 3.13. A script of mine broke, because `pathlib.Path.is_mount()` changed behaviour when the path is a symlink (at least to a directory).

i.e. I'm testing a path that is a symlink. The symlink points to a directory. That directory *is* a mountpoint. The `.is_mount()` test in 3.11 returned True, while in 3.13 it returns False.

This seems wrong to me. Most path-manipulation functions transparently treat symlinks as if they were the pointed-to object unless you pass an option/flag specifically to say you want the symlink itself.

Gonna have to dig to see what else I can find.

🐍 Python + Windows + Lecteurs mappés = 💥

Le bug qui m'a pris 4 versions

❌ Path.mkdir() → G:\\
✅ os.makedirs() → G:\

Sur Windows, pathlib crée un double backslash
avec les lecteurs (G:, H:, ...)

Join Paths via 3 Methods

Join Paths via 3 Methods This content explores interesting aspects of this topic. The information provided offers valuable insights and perspectives. Understanding this reveals how everyday things are more thoughtful than they appear. Next time you'll notice this detail. This fascinating detail shows how much thought goes into things we take for granted.

Using #Python's #pathlib to compare two repos and get back some missing files from a "recovered" version of a repo (mostly stuff in .gitignore that is handy not to discard right now).

Изучаем Python: модуль pathlib для начинающих с домашним заданием

Забудьте о ручном склеивании строк: с pathlib пути элегантно конструируются с помощью оператора /. Проверка существования, чтение, получение родительской директории — всё это становится методами и атрибутами самого объекта. В результате код получается не просто чище и читабельнее, он становится более надежным и по-настоящему "питоничным" (Pythonic).

I’m still a strong believer in PBD - print-based-debugging — but I hate getting stumped for two days because the value I’m printing automatically prints a string, but the value != an actual string so an equality test fails

#python #pathlib

The wonders of #Python on #Windows (via #MSYS2)...

If you run your Python script using "./script.py", then `Path` from #pathlib becomes `PosixPath`.

If you run the same script using "python script.py" instead, then `Path` becomes `WindowsPath`.

Chers!

My Python is a bit rusty, but I came across this today:

envfile = self.doctreedir / ENV_PICKLE_FILENAME

🤣 Go home pathlib, you're drunk.

I mean, I get it. "/" is the directory separator character so let's use the division operator to build pathnames is a thought that someone could have.
