There is a minor typo in the docstring of os.renames:

See https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/37905786b34b/Lib/os.py#l275

"After the rename, directories corresponding to rightmost path segments of the old name will be pruned way until [..]"

This should be using away instead of way:

"After the rename, directories corresponding to rightmost path segments of the old name will be pruned away until [..]"

I think removing the word "way" would be a better improvement.
