pathier

Extends the standard library pathlib.Path class.

Installation

Install with:

pip install pathier

Usage

Functions the same as pathlib.Path, but with added functions and some altered default arguments.
Can dump and load toml and json files:

from pathier import Pathier
path = Pathier("some_file.toml")
content = path.loads()
path.with_suffix(".json").dumps(content, indent=2)

Pathier().mkdir() creates parent directories and doesn't throw an error if the path already exists by default.

Pathier().write_text() and Pathier().write_bytes() will create parent directories by default if they won't exist.

Pathier().write_text() will also try to cast the data to be written to a string if a TypeError is thrown.

Pathier().delete() will delete a file or directory, event if that directory isn't empty.

Pathier().copy() will copy a file or a directory tree to a new destination and return a Pathier object for the new path
By default, files in the destination will not be overwritten.
