[New-bugs-announce] [issue38793] pathlib.Path.resolve(strict=False) strips final path components

[lutecki]

New submission from lutecki <lukasz.matecki at gmail.com>:

When a directory doesn't exist, the resolve() method trims everything except the first component (a doesn't exist here):

import pathlib
p = pathlib.Path(".", "a", "b", "c")
p
WindowsPath('a/b/c')
p.resolve(strict=False)
WindowsPath('C:/Python36/Scripts/a')

I would expect C:/Python36/Scripts/a/b/c
Am I missing something?
