Pathway 1.3.1

A library for interacting with the filesystem

Downloads ↓

Pathway is a module for interacting with the filesystem in a clean,
object-oriented manner. For example, instead of::

    datafile = os.path.join(datapath, 'somedata.txt')
    if os.path.exists(datafile)
        os.rename(datafile, datafile + '.old')
    fd = open(datafile, 'w')
    fd.write(data)
    fd.close()

You can write the much cleaner:

    datadir = pathway.new(datapath)
    if 'somedata.txt' in datadir:
        datadir['somedata.txt'].rename('somedata.txt.old', overwrite=True)
    datadir.create('somedata.txt', data)

The majority of filesystem operations have corresponding methods. The module
itself has no dependencies besides Python.
