English Actions
:func:`~os.path.expanduser` on Windows now prefers the :envvar:`USERPROFILE` environment variable and does not use :envvar:`HOME`, which is not normally set for regular user accounts. (Contributed by Anthony Sottile in :issue:`36264`.)
:func:`~os.path.isdir` on Windows no longer returns ``True`` for a link to a non-existent directory.
:func:`~os.path.realpath` on Windows now resolves reparse points, including symlinks and directory junctions.
pathlib
:mod:`pathlib.Path` methods that return a boolean result like :meth:`~pathlib.Path.exists()`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_dir()`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_file()`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_mount()`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_symlink()`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_block_device()`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_char_device()`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_fifo()`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_socket()` now return ``False`` instead of raising :exc:`ValueError` or its subclass :exc:`UnicodeEncodeError` for paths that contain characters unrepresentable at the OS level. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`33721`.)
Added :meth:`pathlib.Path.link_to()` which creates a hard link pointing to a path. (Contributed by Joannah Nanjekye in :issue:`26978`) Note that ``link_to`` was deprecated in 3.10 and removed in 3.12 in favor of a ``hardlink_to`` method added in 3.10 which matches the semantics of the existing ``symlink_to`` method.
pickle
:mod:`pickle` extensions subclassing the C-optimized :class:`~pickle.Pickler` can now override the pickling logic of functions and classes by defining the special :meth:`~pickle.Pickler.reducer_override` method. (Contributed by Pierre Glaser and Olivier Grisel in :issue:`35900`.)
plistlib
Added new :class:`plistlib.UID` and enabled support for reading and writing NSKeyedArchiver-encoded binary plists. (Contributed by Jon Janzen in :issue:`26707`.)
