…directories Return files and directories from `pathlib.Path.glob()` if the pattern ends with `**`. This is more compatible with `PurePath.full_match()` and with other glob implementations such as bash and `glob.glob()`. Users can add a trailing slash to match only directories. In my previous patch I added a `FutureWarning` with the intention of fixing this in Python 3.15. Upon further reflection I think this was an unnecessarily cautious remedy to a clear bug.

Agree we can fix this, but let's make sure it's clearly mentioned in What's New and Porting Notes (also on the What's New page) for 3.13. If that's already been done, consider me +1 |
