Path: Path for Pretty People

Path provide highly readable API to access and manipulate both filesystem path and URL path.

All operations are available at module level as functions.

>>> import path
>>> path.cwd() # return current working directory.
>>> path.chd() # change current working directory.
...

Operations are available as Path object methods too.

>>> p = path.Path('c:\\hello\world.py')
>>> p.name
'world'
>>> p.ext
'.py'
>>> p.ispath(path.EXIST) # check path or file existence.
>>> p.isempty() # whether the file or dir is empty.
...

Individual classes for readability.

>>> comp = path.Components('c:\\hello\world.py')
>>> comp.name
'world'
>>> comp.ext
'.py'

Unlike other packages, path also work on URL too. Which ease web-scrapper coding.

>>> p = path.HttpPath('https://github.com/docopt/docopt')
>>> p.path
'/docopt/docopt'
>>> p.create() # will create dir or file according to args.
...
