That's kinda weird for python. I mean, in regular list/etc if I need the last element, I'd normally do list[-1], but here to get the last parent, I need to actually know how many parents do I have. So now, I can do something like this: >>> parents_count = len(path.parents) - 1 >>> path.parents[parents_count] PosixPath('.')
