GH-73991: Add `pathlib.Path.move()` by barneygale · Pull Request #122073 · python/cpython

Add a Path.move() method that moves a file or directory tree, and returns a new Path instance pointing to the target.

This method is similar to shutil.move(), except that it doesn't accept a copy_function argument, and it doesn't check whether the destination is an existing directory.

In pathlib's private ABCs, PathBase.move() uses the copy() and delete() methods to move files and directories.

• Issue: Support moving across filesystems in pathlib.Path, as shutil.move() does #73991
