pathlib

Backport of the pathlib module for Jython 2.1.

Implemented mostly by using native os.path calls to mimic the behaviour of the pathlib.Path class.

Features

• Initialization with string or parameters (Path("/tmp/sub_dir") or Path("/tmp", "sub_dir"))
• Path concatenation through the division operator (Path("/tmp") / "sub_dir")
• Same output for both str(...) and repr(...)
• Subset of methods from the original Path:
  • .absolute()
  • .as_posix()
  • .expanduser()
  • .exists()
  • .glob()
  • .resolve()
  • .read_bytes() and .read_text()
  • .write_bytes() and .write_text()
  • .unlink()
• Subset of properties from the original Path:
  • .name
  • .parent
  • .stem
  • .suffix

Usage

from pathlib import Path

print(Path("~/.ssh/").expanduser().exists())
