[New-bugs-announce] [issue37486] pathlib.Path('.').parent is itself rather than parent

[adrien.pierre.horgnies@gmail.com]

New submission from adrien.pierre.horgnies at gmail.com <adrien.pierre.horgnies at gmail.com>:

Tested with CPython 3.7.3

```
from pathlib import Path

p = Path('.')

assert p == p.parent # should fail but it does not
```

I expect Path('.').parent to be Path('..')

I searched issues and did not find any similar issue but maybe I didn't search well enough because I would be surprised that I'd be the first one to be bugged by this issue.

I didn't test newer version of Python as I couldn't find a package or wasn't comfortable enough to build it myself.
