Path.cwd().glob('/*') seems to yield all files and folders in cwd, the same as .glob('*').

I believe that glob('*/') should yield only directories, and glob('*') all files and directories. this behaviour isnt documented one way or the other. But it would be consistent with glob.glob()

this is workaroundable via constructions like:

list(x for x in p.glob('*/') if x.is_dir())

but I think there's value in behaving like glob.glob(), and keystroke avoidance for what must be a fairly common use case

Good find -- I agree that when using Path.cwd().glob('*/'), it should only return directories. This follows the original glob library's functionality as well as the Unix expectation (I believe Windows as well, but I'll double check).

I'll work on a fix!

I checked this on Mac and Windows, pathlib and the old glob std lib behave
the same on both in this respect
