[New-bugs-announce] [issue31842] pathlib: "Incorrect function" during resolve()

[Erik Aronesty]

New submission from Erik Aronesty <earonesty at gmail.com>:

When strict is "false", pathlib should not fail if the network share is inaccessible.  It should, as documented, catch the exception and continue with as much of the path as it has.



>>> pathlib.Path("v:").resolve()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\erik\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\pathlib.py", line 1119, in resolve
    s = self._flavour.resolve(self, strict=strict)
  File "C:\Users\erik\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\pathlib.py", line 193, in resolve
    s = self._ext_to_normal(_getfinalpathname(s))
OSError: [WinError 1] Incorrect function: 'v:'
