Python Path library that makes file path extraction easier

I. What is Path?

This module provides classes that represent filesystem paths with semantics applicable to different operating systems. The path classes are categorized into pure paths, which provide pure computational operations without I/O, and specific paths, which are inherited from pure paths but provide I/O operations.

Pure paths are useful in some use cases, for example:

• If you want to manipulate Windows paths on a Unix device (or vice versa). You should not instantiate a WindowsPath on Unix, but you can instantiate PureWindowsPath.
• You only want to manipulate paths but not actually access the operating system. In this case, instantiating a pure path is useful because they don't have any operations that access the operating system.

II. Steps for use

1. Extract file name

Method name :.name

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/")
path_file_name = path_str.name
print(path_file_name)

exports

2. Extract parent file path

Method name :.parent

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/")
path_parent_path = path_str.parent
print(path_parent_path)

exports

\user\HinGwenWoong

3.Extract file suffix

Method name :.suffix

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/")
path_suffix = path_str.suffix
print(path_suffix)

exports

.py

4. Extract file names without suffixes

Method name :.stem

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/")
path_only_name = path_str.stem
print(path_only_name )

exports

demo

5. Change the file extension

Method name :.with_suffix

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/")
path_suffix = path_str.with_suffix(".json")
print(path_suffix)

exports

\user\HinGwenWoong\

6. Traversing documents

Method name :.iterdir()

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/logs")
for path in path_str.iterdir():
    print(path)

exports

/user/HinGwenWoong/log/
/user/HinGwenWoong/log/
/user/HinGwenWoong/log/
/user/HinGwenWoong/log/
/user/HinGwenWoong/log/

7. Combined file path

Method name :.joinpath

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/")
path_str_join = path_str.joinpath("")
print(path_str_join)

exports

\user\HinGwenWoong\

8. Whether the absolute path

Method name :is_absolute()

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/")
print(path_str.is_absolute())

exports

True

9. Whether folder or file

Method name :is_dir()、 is_file()

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/")
print(path_str.is_dir())
print(path_str.is_file())

exports

True
False

10. Existence

Method name :.exists()

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/usr/HinGwenWoong/")
print(path_str.exists())

exports

True

Method name :.glob

from pathlib import Path

path_str = Path(r"/user/HinGwenWoong/scripts")
print(path_str.glob('*.py'))

exports

[PosixPath('/user/HinGwenWoong/scripts/demo_1.py'),
PosixPath('/user/HinGwenWoong/scripts/demo_2.py')]
