[issue37306] "~/" not working with open() function in posix systems

[Steven D'Aprano]

Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info> added the comment:

Support for "~" isn't strictly part of the POSIX file system standard, it is a *shell* shortcut. As far as the file system is concerned, "~" is just a regular character like any other.
