[New-bugs-announce] [issue35453] pathlib.Path: glob and rglob should accept PathLike patterns

[Cristian Ciupitu]

New submission from Cristian Ciupitu <cristian.ciupitu at yahoo.com>:

pathlib.Path.glob and pathlib.Path.rglob don't work with os.PathLike patterns.

Short example:

from pathlib import Path, PurePath
# fails
tuple(Path('/etc').glob(PurePath('passwd')))    # TypeError
tuple(Path('/etc').rglob(PurePath('passwd')))   # TypeError
tuple(Path('C:\\').glob(PurePath('Windows')))   # AttributeError
tuple(Path('C:\\').rglob(PurePath('Windows')))  # AttributeError
# works
from os import fspath
tuple(Path('/etc').glob(fspath(PurePath('passwd'))))
tuple(Path('/etc').rglob(fspath(PurePath('passwd'))))
tuple(Path('C:\\').glob(fspath(PurePath('Windows'))))
tuple(Path('C:\\').rglob(fspath(PurePath('Windows'))))
