antipathy 0.33.001

oo view of file paths and names, subclassed from str/unicode

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 get 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.
