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.)
