Project path strings between Windows, WSL, MSYS2/Mingw, and POSIX conventions.

pypathdub

pypathdub projects path strings between Windows, WSL, MSYS2/Mingw, and POSIX conventions.

It is for the common cross-shell case where the producer shell's path shape is not the shape a consumer binary expects.

pypathdub 'C:\work\project\data.local' --fmt python-wsl
# /mnt/c/work/project/data.local

pypathdub 'C:\work\project\data.local' --fmt python-mingw
# /c/work/project/data.local

Python

from pypathdub import normalizePathString

print(normalizePathString(r"C:\work\project\data.local", "python-mingw"))

normalize_path_string is also exported as a Python-style alias.

From a source checkout, the compatibility script is:

python .\scripts\normalize_path_string.py 'C:\work\project\data.local' --fmt python-mingw

Formats

• python-win
• python-winabsolute
• python-nix
• python-mingw
• python-wsl
• osnative-win
• osnative-winabsolute
• osnative-nix
• osnative-mingw
• osnative-wsl

The python-* formats use Python-literal-safe separators. The osnative-* formats use the native path style for that convention.

Drive-backed Windows paths cannot be projected to plain nix; use Mingw or WSL when the drive mount is part of the target convention.

The winabsolute formats require a Windows drive or UNC authority. Relative paths and plain POSIX absolute paths are rejected instead of resolved against the current working directory.
