``path`` (aka path pie, formerly ``path.py``) implements path
objects as first-class entities, allowing common operations on
files to be invoked on those path objects directly. For example:
.. code-block:: python
from path import Path
d = Path("/home/guido/bin")
for f in d.files("*.py"):
f.chmod(0o755)
# Globbing
for f in d.files("*.py"):
f.chmod("u+rwx")
# Changing the working directory:
with Path("somewhere"):
# cwd in now `somewhere`
...
# Concatenate paths with /
foo_txt = Path("bar") / "foo.txt"
Path pie is `hosted at Github <https://github.com/jaraco/path>`_.

Guides and Testimonials
=======================
Yasoob wrote the Python 101 `Writing a Cleanup Script
<http://freepythontips.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/python-101-writing-a-cleanup-script/>`_
based on ``path``.
Advantages
==========
Path pie provides a superior experience to similar offerings.
Python 3.4 introduced
`pathlib <https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html>`_,
which shares many characteristics with ``path``. In particular,
it provides an object encapsulation for representing filesystem paths.
One may have imagined ``pathlib`` would supersede ``path``.
But the implementation and the usage quickly diverge, and ``path``
has several advantages over ``pathlib``:
- ``path`` implements ``Path`` objects as a subclass of ``str``, and as a
result these ``Path`` objects may be passed directly to other APIs that
expect simple text representations of paths, whereas with ``pathlib``, one
must first cast values to strings before passing them to APIs that do
not honor `PEP 519 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0519/>`_
``PathLike`` interface.
- ``path`` give quality of life features beyond exposing basic functionality
of a path. ``path`` provides methods like ``rmtree`` (from shlib) and
``remove_p`` (remove a file if it exists), properties like ``.permissions``,
and sophisticated ``walk``, ``TempDir``, and ``chmod`` behaviors.
- As a PyPI-hosted package, ``path`` is free to iterate
faster than a stdlib package. Contributions are welcome
and encouraged.
- ``path`` provides superior portability using a uniform abstraction
over its single Path object,
freeing the implementer to subclass it readily. One cannot
subclass a ``pathlib.Path`` to add functionality, but must
subclass ``Path``, ``PosixPath``, and ``WindowsPath``, even
to do something as simple as to add a ``__dict__`` to the subclass
instances. ``path`` instead allows the ``Path.module``
object to be overridden by subclasses, defaulting to the
``os.path``. Even advanced uses of ``path.Path`` that
subclass the model do not need to be concerned with
OS-specific nuances. ``path.Path`` objects are inherently "pure",
not requiring the author to distinguish between pure and non-pure
variants.
This path project has the explicit aim to provide compatibility
with ``pathlib`` objects where possible, such that a ``path.Path``
object is a drop-in replacement for ``pathlib.Path*`` objects.
This project welcomes contributions to improve that compatibility
where it's lacking.
Origins
=======
The ``path.py`` project was initially released in 2003 by Jason Orendorff
and has been continuously developed and supported by several maintainers
over the years.
