Have you struggled with file path handling in Python? With the pathlib module, the struggle is now over! You no longer need to scratch your head over code like this:
Python
>>> path.rsplit('\\', maxsplit=1)[0]
And you don’t have to cringe at the verbosity of something like this:
Python
>>> os.path.isfile(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), 'realpython.txt'))
In this video course, you’ll learn how to:
- Work with file paths in Python
- Read and write files in new ways
- Manipulate paths and the underlying file system
- List files and iterate over them
Using the pathlib module, the two examples above can be rewritten using elegant, readable, and Pythonic code:
Python
>>> path.parent
>>> (pathlib.Path.home() / 'realpython.txt').is_file()
That’s what you’ll master in this video course!
