[New-bugs-announce] [issue34069] Fail to move file in Windows (AttributeError)

[Joshua Avalon]

New submission from Joshua Avalon <joshuaavalon at gmail.com>:

from shutil import move
from pathlib import Path

a = Path("s")
b = Path("a.txt")

move(b, a)


This will throw AttributeError: 'WindowsPath' object has no attribute 'rstrip'

>From the document, it should able to move:

If the destination is an existing directory, then src is moved inside that directory. If the destination already exists but is not a directory, it may be overwritten depending on os.rename() semantics.

If a = Path("s/a.txt"), it does not throw error.

Enviroment:
  Window 10
  Python 3.7.0
