I'm not sure what your code tries to accomplish, does it check that ``f.parent`` refers to the same location as ``ref_file``? A clearer solution for that would be ``f.parent.resolve() == ref_file.resolve()``.

The argument to match, glob and rglob cannot be Paths because the argument is not a path but a pattern. Those are conceptually different.

What would ``Path("dir/some.py").match(Path("*.py"))`` return?
