[New-bugs-announce] [issue25625] "chdir" Contex manager for pathlib

[Jáchym Barvínek]

New submission from Jáchym Barvínek:

I use this context manager in my code:

@contextmanager
def in_directory(path):
    pwd = str(Path().absolute())
    if not path.is_dir():
        path = path.parent
    os.chdir(str(path))
    yield path.absolute()
    os.chdir(pwd)

I thought it would be nice to have something like this in the pathlib as a method of Path library, I find it quite convenient, especially when dealing with subprocesses.
