Welcome to pathlib_mate Documentation

pathlib is an awesome library handling path in different OS. And it's been added into standard library since Python3.4. pathlib_mate gives extensive methods and attributes, makes pathlib more powerful and user-friendly.

Features:

Convenient Attribute Accessor:

>>> p = Path("/Users/username/test.py").

>>> p.abspath
/Users/username/test.py

>>> p.basename
test.py

>>> p.fname
test

>>> p.ext
.py

>>> p.dirname
username

>>> p.dirpath
/Users/username

>>> p.size
1500

>>> p.size_in_text
1.46 KB

>>> p.create_datetime
datetime(2018, 1, 15, 8, 30, 15)

>>> p.md5
415f12f07a7e01486cc82856621e05bf

>>> p.sha256
d51512cb0ac71484c01c475409a73225d0149165024d7aac6d8e655eedf2c025

>>> p.sha512
7882fc375840cafa364eaf29dc424645b72fcdbe61fc3326c5afd98e70f696e4f390e0e3f159eac2cb60cedc0992ef7b5f8744a4481911e914a7c5b979e6de68

Powerful Path Search:

>>> p = Path("/Users/username/Documents")

>>> for path in p.select_file(recursive=True)
...

>>> for path in p.select_file(recursive=False)
...

>>> for path in p.select_dir(recursive=True)
...

>>> for image_file in p.select_by_ext([".jpg", ".png"])
...

>>> for big_file in p.select_by_size(min_size=1000000)
...

>>> for video_file in p.select_video():
...

# You can customize the filter anyway you want
>>> def py_filter(p): return ".py" == p.ext.lower()
>>> for py_file in p.select_file(py_filter):
...

Eazy to use File / Dir Operation:

>>> p = Path("/Users/username/Documents/Readme.txt")

# mutate
>>> p.change(new_ext=".md")
/Users/username/Documents/Readme.md

>>> p.change(new_fname="Tutorial")
/Users/username/Documents/Tutorial.txt

>>> p.change(new_basename="README.rst")
/Users/username/Documents/README.rst

>>> p.change(new_dirname="Downloads")
/Users/username/Downloads/Readme.txt

>>> p.change(new_dirpath="/User/username/Downloads)
/Users/username/Downloads/Readme.txt

>>> p.change(new_abspath="/Users/username/Downloads/Readme.txt")
/Users/username/Downloads/Readme.txt

# copy
>>> p.moveto(new_ext=".md", makedirs=True)

# cut
>>> p.copyto(new_ext=".md", makedirs=True)

# delete
>>> p.remove()

# delete file or directory recursively, ignore if not exists
>>> p.remove_if_exists()

# make dir and required parents recursively, if not exists
>>> p.mkdir_if_not_exists()

Atomic Write Support:

If anything wrong happens during writing big chunk of data into a file. It may leave you an incomplete file. Atomic write can guarantee either 100% done or nothing happens.

Thanks for boltons project. Now pathlib_mate supports atomic write API:

>>> p = Path("test.dat")
>>> s = "Hello World"
>>> b = s.encode("utf-8)
>>> p.atomic_write_bytes(b, overwrite=True)
>>> p.atomic_write_text(s, overwrite=True)
>>> with p.atomic_open("wb") as f:
...     f.write(b) # write large binary data

Powerful Production Tools:

>>> p = Path("/Users/username/Documents/Github/pathlib_mate-project")

>>> p.print_big_dir_and_big_file()
...

>>> p.file_stat()
{"file": 122, "dir": 41, "size": 619682}

# file statistics, include sub folder
>>> p.file_stat_for_all()

# make an zip archive for the directory, auto naming
>>> p.make_zip_archive()

# make an zip archive for the directory, auto naming
>>> p.backup()
