    Similar to Path.cwd(), perhaps a Path.home() to create a new Path object pointing to the current user's home directory may be useful.

    IMO, this functionality is subsumed by http://bugs.python.org/issue19776
    (Path.expanduser).

    Roughly, yes, but it can also be a useful convenience (expanduser('~') isn't that user-friendly, especially for Windows users).

    I agree that Path.home() is more user friendly than Path.expanduser('~').

    + def _test_home(self, p):
    + q = self.cls(os.path.expanduser('~'))
    + self.assertEqual(p, q)
    + self.assertEqual(str(p), str(q))
    + self.assertIs(type(p), type(q))
    + self.assertTrue(p.is_absolute())
    +
    + def test_home(self):
    + p = self.cls.home()
    + self._test_home(p)

    Why are you using a submethod _test_home()?
