This question is essentially two parts: how does Pathlib handle an unknown number of path segments as arguments and is it possible to pass a list or tuple into the constructor?
The documentation for the Path class is as follows:
class pathlib.Path(*pathsegments)
I know it will accept a variable number of arguments, so I figured it may also check the type and then expand a list or tuple as appropriate. Testing has shown it doesn't do that, however:
import pathlib
parts = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
p = pathlib.Path(parts)
which results in:
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not list
The same thing happens with a tuple. How can I use Pathlib to construct a path out of an unknown number of path segments?
