Closes #127264
What
Issue #127264 pointed out that users relying on
exists()
as a safe pre-check forresolve()
may still encounter an unexpectedFileNotFoundError
when the cwd is gone. This note:getcwd()
call).exists()
can race with filesystem changes.How
Doc/library/pathlib.rst
to document thatPath.resolve(strict=False)
will callos.getcwd()
internally and thus can raiseFileNotFoundError
if the current working directory has been deleted.📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--135531.org.readthedocs.build/
