pathlib: inconsistent handling of rootless Windows paths #94909

Closed

Description

@barneygale
>>> from pathlib import PureWindowsPath
>>> a = 'C:/a/b'
>>> b = 'C:x/y'
>>> PureWindowsPath(a, b)
PureWindowsPath('C:x/y')
>>> PureWindowsPath(a) / b
PureWindowsPath('C:/a/b/x/y')

Seems to be the only case where the PureWindowsPath constuctor and joinpath() disagree when given the same arguments. This has implications for future work, so I'd love to make them consistent.

Affects all supported versions of Python.
