Pathlib Extensions

Supported versions PyPI Package latest release License

Open issues Closed issues

Overview

The pathlib_extensions module serves two related purposes:

  • Enable use of new filesystem path features on older Python versions. For example, pathlib.PurePath.with_stem() is new in Python 3.9, but pathlib_extensions allows users on Python 3.6 through 3.8 to use it too.
  • Enable experimentation with new filesystem path features that are not found in the pathlib module.

Included Items

This module currently contains the following:

  • Experimental features
    • Path.is_image_file()
    • Path.is_audio_file()
    • Path.is_video_file()
  • In pathlib since Python 3.9
    • PurePath.with_stem()
    • PurePath.is_relative_to()
    • Path.readlink()
  • In pathlib since Python 3.8
    • Path.link_to()
  • In pathlib since Python 3.7
    • Path.is_mount()

Running Tests

To run tests, run tests/test_pathlib_extensions.py. You will also need to install the latest version of pathlib if you are using a version of Python that does not include pathlib as a part of the standard library.
