Not really, as you can see in the pathlib module exist 2 types of path classes: pure path classes {PurePath, PurePosixPath, PureWindowsPath} concrete path classes {Path, PosixPath, WindowsPath}. Parameters of theses classes constructors will be just *pathsegments. And if you look at the available read/write methods (read_text/read_bytes and write_text/write_bytes) you’ll also see mode won’t be … Read more
>>> from pathlib import Path >>> >>> _dir = Path.cwd() >>> >>> files = _dir.glob(‘*.txt’) >>> >>> type(files) <class ‘generator’> Here, files is a generator, which can be read only once and then get exhausted. So, when you will try to read it second time, you won’t have it. >>> for i in files: … … Read more
Use the PurePath.relative_to() method to produce a relative path. You weren’t very clear as to how the base path is determined; here are two options: secondparent = path.parent.parent homedir = pathlib.Path(r’C:\users\user1′) then just use str() on the path.relative_to(secondparent) or path.relative_to(homedir) result. Demo: >>> import pathlib >>> path = pathlib.Path(r’C:\users\user1\documents\importantdocuments’) >>> secondparent = path.parent.parent >>> homedir … Read more
The Path class has a __truediv__ method that returns another Path. You can do the same with your own classes: >>> class WeirdThing(object): def __truediv__(self, other): return ‘Division!’ >>> WeirdThing() / WeirdThing() ‘Division!’
One – liner import os cpt = sum([len(files) for r, d, files in os.walk(“G:\CS\PYTHONPROJECTS”)])
The problem is here: str = str(pdf.stem) You’re overwriting the value str, so starting from the 2nd iteration of your loop, str no longer refers to the built-in str function. Choose a different name for this variable.
You have to actually rename the file not just print out the new name. Use Path.rename() from pathlib import Path my_file = Path(“E:\\seaborn_plot\\x.dwt”) my_file.rename(my_file.with_suffix(‘.txt’)) Note: To replace the target if it exists use Path.replace() Use os.rename() import os my_file=”E:\\seaborn_plot\\x.dwt” new_ext=”.txt” # Gets my_file minus the extension name_without_ext = os.path.splitext(my_file)[0] os.rename(my_file, name_without_ext + new_ext) Ref: os.path.splitext(path) … Read more
pathlib integrates seemlessly with open only in Python 3.6 and later. From Python 3.6’s release notes: The built-in open() function has been updated to accept os.PathLike objects, as have all relevant functions in the os and os.path modules, and most other functions and classes in the standard library. To get it to work in Python … Read more
Based on the comments I realized that pathlib does not help changing directories and that directory changes should be avoided if possible. Since I needed to call bash scripts outside of Python from the correct directory, I opted for using a context manager for a cleaner way of changing directories similar to this answer: import … Read more
The with_suffix method will return a new path with a different extension, either changing an existing extension or adding a new one. Examples from the docs: >>> p = PureWindowsPath(‘c:/Downloads/pathlib.tar.gz’) >>> p.with_suffix(‘.bz2’) PureWindowsPath(‘c:/Downloads/pathlib.tar.bz2’) >>> p = PureWindowsPath(‘README’) >>> p.with_suffix(‘.txt’) PureWindowsPath(‘README.txt’) In your case, p.with_suffix(ext) would do the job. For cases where you need to add … Read more
