Unable to show full path as string

Open Grumpythedwarff opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

We have the method Path.name() to show the filename associated with a path, but there doesn't appear to a way to show the full file path without wrapping in a str() function, which is a little ugly.

Could something like Path.fullname() be included as a method?

Pathlib is a python library function so I can't change it.

I did do some research on your question and apparently there is quite a bit of discussion about the best approach to resolve. This SO question is good.

I also recommend looking through this discussion on the developer's docs.

It seems like the recommended approach is to use Path.resolve() which may or may not be what you need.
