[New-bugs-announce] [issue38924] pathlib paths .normalize()

[Ionuț Ciocîrlan]

New submission from Ionuț Ciocîrlan <ionut.ciocirlan at gmail.com>:

pathlib paths should expose a `.normalize()` method. This is highly useful, especially in web-related scenarios.

On `PurePath` its usefulness is obvious, but it's debatable for `Path`, as it would yield different results from `.resolve()` in case of symlinks (which resolves them before normalizing).
