Fabio Zadrozny: Using (or really misusing) Path.resolve() in Python

- pathlib's `Path.resolve()` resolves symlinks, which can lead to bugs when working with relative paths. - `Path.resolve()` can make it difficult to find files relative to the original path. - `Path.parent` should not be used after calling `Path.resolve()`. - Use `os.path.normalize(os.path.abspath(...))` instead of `Path.resolve()` to remove ".." occurrences and make paths absolute. - `Path.resolve()` may be useful for creating a canonical representation of files, but this is a rare use case. - In most cases, it's better to avoid using `Path.resolve()` as it can be a source of bugs. - Some users may prefer to resolve symlinks in certain scenarios, but this is not the most common behavior. - Programs can use a flag to allow users to choose whether or not to resolve symlinks. - Many users do not put their source code in symlinks, so `Path.resolve()` is not a concern for them. - It's important to use absolute and normalized paths when passing files among APIs.
