#TIL #pathlib.Path in #python can not only lead the `Path('.') / file`, bu be at any place in the expression

I get not liking the "clever" overloading of the division operator. Luckily, you don't have to use it - you can pass a full path as a single string, or a list of strings, and it will Do The Right Thing:

>>> Path("/usr", "lib", "grub")
PosixPath('/usr/lib/grub')

>>> Path("/usr/lib/grub")
PosixPath('/usr/lib/grub')

pathlib is nice because it gives some better, high-level abstractions. Things like `path.relative_to(other_path)` are very natural to read.

#python #pathlib

Day 3,406 of wishing Python's tempfile module returned pathlib.Path objects instead of str.

#python #pathlib

La clase #Path del módulo #pathlib facilita la manipulación de rutas y archivos en #Python. Crea una ruta así: 'ruta = Path('directorio/archivo.txt')'. Interactúa con el sistema de #archivos de forma intuitiva y segura

In a a recent #Python (3.6) program used "#pathlib.Path" to munge paths. It was a pleasant change from the #eye_poking "str.join" and (fair) "str.split" functions.

@brettcannon @nedbat Nice (for "[#pathlib] picking up os.walk()"), as I had wanted that in it in #python 3.{[89],10} not too long ago.

@brettcannon thanks for your work on pathlib!

I used that just yesterday in a project instead of os.path.

Python stdlib's `pathlib.Path.with_suffix` is
utterly broken.
