PurePath.parent
The logical parent of the path:
1 2 3 | >>> p = PurePosixPath('/a/b/c/d')>>> p.parentPurePosixPath('/a/b/c') |
You cannot go past an anchor, or empty path:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | >>> p = PurePosixPath('/')>>> p.parentPurePosixPath('/')>>> p = PurePosixPath('.')>>> p.parentPurePosixPath('.') |
Note
This is a purely lexical operation, hence the following behaviour:
1 2 3 | >>> p = PurePosixPath('foo/..')>>> p.parentPurePosixPath('foo') |
If you want to walk an arbitrary filesystem path upwards, it is recommended to first call Path.resolve() so as to resolve symlinks and eliminate ”..” components.
