Instead, it considers the drive and root of the pattern separately; if either (or both) is specified in the pattern, it must *exactly* match the corresponding drive/root in the path.\r\n\r\nThis results in the following:\r\n\r\n```python\r\n\u003e\u003e\u003e from pathlib import PureWindowsPath as P\r\n\u003e\u003e\u003e P('c:/b.py').match('*:/*.py')\r\nFalse\r\n\u003e\u003e\u003e P('c:/b.py').match('c:*.py')\r\nTrue\r\n\u003e\u003e\u003e P('c:/b.py').match('/*.py')\r\nTrue\r\n\u003e\u003e\u003e P('//some/share/a.py').match('//*/*/*.py')\r\nFalse\r\n\u003e\u003e\u003e P('//some/share/a.py').match('/*.py')\r\nTrue\r\n```\r\n\r\nAll of these results are wrong IMO.\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-101363\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/barneygale","@type":"Person","name":"barneygale"},"datePublished":"2023-01-26T23:31:55.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/101360/cpython/issues/101360"}
