Let's say I open a python console inside /home/me/symlink/dir, which is actually a shortcut to /home/me/path/to/the/dir. In this console I execute the following code: from pathlib import Path path = Path.cwd() print(path) # "/home/me/path/to/the/dir" So cwd() actually resolves the symlinks and get the absolute path automatically and I am searching how to avoid this behavior. If the path with symlink is provided at the Path object declaration, it seems to work as I would like: from pathlib import Path path = Path("/home/me/symlink/dir") print(path) # "/home/me/symlink/dir" Is there a way to get the current working directory keeping the symlink other than providing the path at object instantiation ?
