pathlib: why and how to use it - Trey Hunner

From the creator

If your Python code works with file paths, you should be using pathlib. This standard library module may seem a bit cumbersome at first, but pathlib-using code is often more readable than the alternative. Python's many path-oriented utilities used to expect a string representation for all file paths. That's not the case anymore. Now every important path-consuming library will accept pathlib.Path objects. During this talk, we'll see why pathlib.Path objects make for more maintainable code. We'll visit a number of useful pathlib examples and recipes along the way. By the end of this talk, you'll be tempted to convert all your path-handling code to use pathlib.
