A Python library providing object-oriented file system path manipulation, where Path objects are first-class str subclasses with rich methods for file operations. It offers quality-of-life features beyond pathlib such as rmtree, TempDir, and advanced walk/chmod behavior.
Use cases
- manipulate file paths as objects in python
- glob and process files in a directory
- temporarily change working directory in python
- replace pathlib with a more convenient path library
- write file cleanup scripts in python
When to choose
- you want Path objects usable directly as strings with legacy APIs
- you need convenience methods like rmtree, remove_p, and TempDir beyond pathlib
- you prefer a fluent, object-oriented interface over os.path
When to avoid
- you only need the standard library and pathlib suffices
- you need PEP 519 PathLike interop with modern APIs only
- you require a project with an explicit open-source license
