Path.parents already exists:

Python 3.4.2 (default, Feb 23 2015, 21:16:28)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.1 (clang-503.0.40)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pathlib
>>> list(pathlib.Path("/usr/bin/true").parents)
[PosixPath('/usr/bin'), PosixPath('/usr'), PosixPath('/')]
