oo view of file paths and names, subclassed from str/unicode
Project description
Tired of calling a function for every path manipulation you need to do?
Is::
path, filename = os.path.split(some_name)
basename, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
basename = basename + '_01'
new_name = os.path.join([path, basename, ext])
wearing on your nerves?
In short, are you filled with antipathy [1]_ for os.path?
Then acknowlege your antipathy and work with Path!
some_name = Path('/home/ethan/source/my_file.txt')
backups = Path('/home/ethan/backup/')
print some_name.path
# '/home/ethan/source/'
print some_name.ext
# '.txt'
print some_name.exists()
# True (well, if it happens to exist at this moment ;)
backup = backups / some_name.filename + '_01' + some_name.ext
print backup
# '/home/ethan/backup/my_file_01.txt'
some_name.copy(backup)
Because Path is a subclass of str/unicode, it can still be passed to other functions that expect a str/unicode object and work seamlessly.
