Path Manupulations

The pathstr module is a wrapper around the standard os module for working with paths.

The idea is to represent a path as a string alias, allowing strings to be cast to paths and back, and also transparently using the Path type everywhere a string is expected.

Corresponding methods:

os function	pathstr alternative
os.join_path()	Path.join()
os.dir()	Path.dir()
os.file_name()	Path.name()
os.file_ext()	Path.ext()
os.split_path()	Path.split()
os.expand_tilde_to_home()	Path.expand_tilde()
os.norm_path()	Path.normalized()
os.quoted_path()	Path.quoted()
os.abs_path()	Path.abs()
os.real_path()	Path.real()
os.exists()	Path.exists()
os.existing_path()	Path.existing()
os.is_abs_path()	Path.is_abs()
os.is_file()	Path.is_file()
os.is_link()	Path.is_link()
os.is_dir()	Path.is_dir()
os.is_dir_empty()	Path.is_dir_empty()
os.is_readable()	Path.is_readable()
os.is_writable()	Path.is_writable()
os.is_executable()	Path.is_executable()
