The correct operator to extend a pathlib object is / from pathlib import Path Desktop = Path(‘Desktop’) # print(Desktop) WindowsPath(‘Desktop’) # extend the path to include subdir SubDeskTop = Desktop / “subdir” # print(SubDeskTop) WindowsPath(‘Desktop/subdir’) # passing an absolute path has different behavior SubDeskTop = Path(‘Desktop’) / ‘/subdir’ # print(SubDeskTop) WindowsPath(‘/subdir’) When several absolute paths … Read more
You can use datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp, i.e. from datetime import datetime, timezone … stat_result = path.stat() modified = datetime.fromtimestamp(stat_result.st_mtime, tz=timezone.utc) print(‘modified’, modified)
Yes there is: env_path = Path(__file__).parent / “.env” / is all you need. This will work in different OSs
You could try: p = pathlib.Path(“temp/”) p.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) fn = “test.txt” # I don’t know what is your fn filepath = p / fn with filepath.open(“w”, encoding =”utf-8″) as f: f.write(result) You shouldn’t give a string as path. It is your object filepath which has the method open. source
Use Path.glob() to list all files and directories. And then filter it in a List Comprehensions. p = Path(r’C:\Users\akrio\Desktop\Test’).glob(‘**/*’) files = [x for x in p if x.is_file()] More from the pathlib module: pathlib, part of the standard library. Python 3’s pathlib Module: Taming the File System
As you already know, the only two Path methods for removing files/directories are .unlink() and .rmdir() and neither does what you want. Pathlib is a module that provides object oriented paths across different OS’s, it isn’t meant to have lots of diverse methods. The aim of this library is to provide a simple hierarchy of … Read more
It looks like there is a parents element that contains all the parent directories of a given path. E.g., if you start with: >>> import pathlib >>> p = pathlib.Path(‘/path/to/my/file’) Then p.parents[0] is the directory containing file: >>> p.parents[0] PosixPath(‘/path/to/my’) …and p.parents[1] will be the next directory up: >>> p.parents[1] PosixPath(‘/path/to’) Etc. p.parent is another … Read more
Use Path.rglob (substitutes the leading ** in Path().glob(“**/*”)): path = Path(“docs”) for p in path.rglob(“*”): print(p.name)
To use shutil.copy: import pathlib import shutil my_file = pathlib.Path(‘/etc/hosts’) to_file = pathlib.Path(‘/tmp/foo’) shutil.copy(str(my_file), str(to_file)) # For Python <= 3.7. shutil.copy(my_file, to_file) # For Python 3.8+. The problem is pathlib.Path create a PosixPath object if you’re using Unix/Linux, WindowsPath if you’re using Microsoft Windows. With older versions of Python, shutil.copy requires a string as its … Read more
Use resolve() Simply use Path.resolve() like this: p = p.resolve() This makes your path absolute and replaces all relative parts with absolute parts, and all symbolic links with physical paths. On case-insensitive file systems, it will also canonicalize the case (file.TXT becomes file.txt). Avoid absolute() before Python 3.11 The alternative method absolute() was not documented … Read more
