[New-bugs-announce] [issue23146] Incosistency in pathlib between / and \

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

>>> pathlib.PureWindowsPath('c:/a/b', '/x/y')
PureWindowsPath('c:/x/y')
>>> pathlib.PureWindowsPath('//?/c:/a/b', '/x/y')
PureWindowsPath('/x/y')
>>> pathlib.PureWindowsPath(r'\\?\c:\a\b', '/x/y')
PureWindowsPath('//?/c:/x/y')

I suppose this is because in parse_parts() altsep is replaced with sep before calling self.splitroot() in main loop but not in other loop (if drv or root). Line 76.
