Can you provide a Python function that retrieves sub-paths from a single path string without limit?

Certainly! Here's an example:

def get_all_subpaths(path):
    """
    Returns a list of all sub-paths from a given path string.
    """
    subpaths = []
    path_parts = path.split('/')
    for i in range(1, len(path_parts) + 1):
        subpath = '/'.join(path_parts[:i])
        subpaths.append(subpath)
    return subpaths

This function works by splitting the path string into its individual parts (using the / character as a separator), and then iterating through the parts to construct each sub-path. The subpaths list is used to store each sub-path as it's constructed. The result is a list of all possible sub-paths in the order they appear in the original path string.

For example, calling get_all_subpaths('/foo/bar/baz') would return the following list:

['/foo', '/foo/bar', '/foo/bar/baz']

Note that this implementation does not include the original path string in the resulting list of sub-paths. If you want to include the original path as the first element in the list, you can modify the range of the for loop to start at 0 instead of 1.
