from pathlib import Path
p = Path('/any/folder')
f = p / 'oldname'
f.rename('newname')
The above will rename the file 'oldname' to 'newname' but will also
move it to Path.cwd()
I thought that pathlib.Path.rename() when fed with a string would
change f.name only. I certainly did not expect the file to move. My
hypothesis is that a new Path('newname') is being created and used to
move the file so it that goes to Path.cwd() with the new name but I
don't know anything. Please disregard if this is working as intended.
The docs do not mention this behavior:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.rename
I'm using Python 3.4.3 on Debian testing. |
