[New-bugs-announce] [issue33392] pathlib .glob('*/') returns files as well as directories

[robbuckley]

New submission from robbuckley <rob at buckleynet.uk>:

Path.cwd().glob('/*') seems to yield all files and folders in cwd, the same as .glob('*').

I believe that glob('*/') should yield only directories, and glob('*') all files and directories. this behaviour isnt documented one way or the other. But it would be consistent with glob.glob()

console dump follows:
