Here's a comparison table of os, os.path, shutil, pathlib, and path.py. The full version is at https://github.com/westurner/pyfilemods (README.rst) and at https://westurner.github.io/pyfilemods.
I ran a few set intersections and went ahead and wrote a report to compare function/method signatures and sources. (cc'ed ironically, for the last time, I promise, from the other fork of this thread: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2018-March/049375.html ) ... trio wraps pathlib methods with async; which also might as well be done in pathlib? - Does it make sense to copy the docstrings at import time every time? attr table ========== ================== == ======= ====== ======= ======= attr os os.path shutil pathlib path.py ================== == ======= ====== ======= ======= `__div__`_ X `__rdiv__`_ X `absolute`_ X `abspath`_ X X `access`_ X X `altsep`_ X X `anchor`_ X `as_posix`_ X `as_uri`_ X `atime`_ X `basename`_ X X `bytes`_ X `capitalize`_ X `casefold`_ X `cd`_ X `center`_ X `chdir`_ X X `chmod`_ X X X `chown`_ X X X `chroot`_ X X `chunks`_ X `commonpath`_ X `commonprefix`_ X `copy`_ X X `copy2`_ X X `copyfile`_ X X `copymode`_ X X `copystat`_ X X `copytree`_ X X `count`_ X `ctime`_ X `curdir`_ X X `cwd`_ X `defpath`_ X X `devnull`_ X X `dirname`_ X X `dirs`_ X `drive`_ X X `encode`_ X `endswith`_ X `exists`_ X X X `expand`_ X `expandtabs`_ X `expanduser`_ X X X `expandvars`_ X X `ext`_ X `extsep`_ X X `files`_ X `find`_ X `fnmatch`_ X X `format`_ X `format_map`_ X `get_owner`_ X `getatime`_ X X `getctime`_ X X `getcwd`_ X X `getmtime`_ X X `getsize`_ X X `glob`_ X X `group`_ X `home`_ X `in_place`_ X `index`_ X `is_absolute`_ X `is_block_device`_ X `is_char_device`_ X `is_dir`_ X `is_fifo`_ X `is_file`_ X `is_reserved`_ X `is_socket`_ X `is_symlink`_ X `isabs`_ X X `isalnum`_ X `isalpha`_ X `isdecimal`_ X `isdigit`_ X `isdir`_ X X `isfile`_ X X `isidentifier`_ X `islink`_ X X `islower`_ X `ismount`_ X X `isnumeric`_ X `isprintable`_ X `isspace`_ X `istitle`_ X `isupper`_ X `iterdir`_ X `join`_ X X `joinpath`_ X X `lchmod`_ X `lexists`_ X `lines`_ X `link`_ X X `listdir`_ X X `ljust`_ X `lower`_ X `lstat`_ X X X `lstrip`_ X `makedirs`_ X X `makedirs_p`_ X `maketrans`_ X `match`_ X `merge_tree`_ X `mkdir`_ X X X `mkdir_p`_ X `module`_ X `move`_ X X `mtime`_ X `name`_ X X X `namebase`_ X `normcase`_ X X `normpath`_ X X `open`_ X X X `os`_ X X `owner`_ X X `pardir`_ X X `parent`_ X X `parents`_ X `partition`_ X `parts`_ X `pathconf`_ X X `pathsep`_ X X `read_bytes`_ X `read_hash`_ X `read_hexhash`_ X `read_md5`_ X `read_text`_ X `readlink`_ X X `readlinkabs`_ X `realpath`_ X X `relative_to`_ X `relpath`_ X X `relpathto`_ X `remove`_ X X `remove_p`_ X `removedirs`_ X X `removedirs_p`_ X `rename`_ X X X `renames`_ X X `replace`_ X X X `resolve`_ X `rfind`_ X `rglob`_ X `rindex`_ X `rjust`_ X `rmdir`_ X X X `rmdir_p`_ X `rmtree`_ X X `rmtree_p`_ X `root`_ X `rpartition`_ X `rsplit`_ X `rstrip`_ X `samefile`_ X X X `sameopenfile`_ X `samestat`_ X `sep`_ X X `size`_ X `special`_ X `split`_ X X `splitall`_ X `splitdrive`_ X X `splitext`_ X X `splitlines`_ X `splitpath`_ X `splitunc`_ X `startswith`_ X `stat`_ X X X X X `statvfs`_ X X `stem`_ X X `strip`_ X `stripext`_ X `suffix`_ X `suffixes`_ X `swapcase`_ X `symlink`_ X X `symlink_to`_ X `text`_ X `title`_ X `touch`_ X X `translate`_ X `uncshare`_ X `unlink`_ X X X `unlink_p`_ X `upper`_ X `using_module`_ X `utime`_ X X `walk`_ X X `walkdirs`_ X `walkfiles`_ X `with_name`_ X `with_suffix`_ X X `write_bytes`_ X X `write_lines`_ X `write_text`_ X X `zfill`_ X ================== == ======= ====== ======= ======= On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 6:22 PM, Mike Miller <python-id...@mgmiller.net> wrote: > > On 2018-03-23 13:47, Jason Maldonis wrote: > >> I’ve found it odd that there doesn’t even seem to be acknowledgment >> among >> longtime python users that the current hodgepodge is pretty >> dysfunctional >> for new users. >> > > I'll acknowledge it too, just that after X years it becomes second nature > as you know. > > Tinkered around at lunchtime with a module to bring them under one roof. > Named it "f2" because "fs" was taken on PyPI and thought the name should be > very short since it could potentially be used in every script, like os and > sys are. > > https://github.com/mixmastamyk/f2 > > Just poking around these questions came up about what to include: > > - Include file descriptors apis? > - chroot? > - l- functions to not follow links? > - Unix dev files? obscure > - pathconf? > - supports_* api? > - Only scandirs or walk too? > > - Should unpack os.path functions into the root?
