pathlib offers a set of classes to handle filesystem paths. It offers the following advantages over using string objects:
No more cumbersome use of os and os.path functions. Everything can be done easily through operators, attribute accesses, and method calls.
Embodies the semantics of different path types. For example, comparing Windows paths ignores casing.
Well-defined semantics, eliminating any warts or ambiguities (forward vs. backward slashes, etc.).
Requirements
Python 3.2 or later is required.
Install
easy_install pathlib or pip install pathlib should do the trick.
Examples
Importing the module classes:
>>> from pathlib import *
Listing Python source files in a directory:
>>> p = Path('.')
>>> [x for x in p if x.ext == '.py']
[PosixPath('test_pathlib.py'), PosixPath('setup.py'),
PosixPath('pathlib.py')]
Listing subdirectories:
>>> [x for x in p if x.is_dir()]
[PosixPath('.hg'), PosixPath('docs'), PosixPath('dist'),
PosixPath('__pycache__'), PosixPath('build')]
Navigating inside a directory tree:
>>> p = Path('/etc')
>>> q = p['init.d/reboot']
>>> q
PosixPath('/etc/init.d/reboot')
>>> q.resolve()
PosixPath('/etc/rc.d/init.d/halt')
Querying path properties:
>>> q.exists() True >>> q.is_dir() False >>> q.st_mode 33261
Opening a file:
>>> with q.open() as f: f.readline() ... '#!/bin/bash\n'

A note on package security
PyPI is a repository for distributing packages, not a service for auditing them. While third-party security researchers and our staff do their best to detect and remove malicious packages, PyPI cannot guarantee the quality, security or suitability of any given package.
