Method relative_to

Lib/pathlib/__init__.py:476–496

Return the relative path to another path identified by the passed arguments. If the operation is not possible (because this is not related to the other path), raise ValueError. The *walk_up* parameter controls whether `..` may be used to resolve the path.
