<div dir="ltr"><div>On a related topic...<br /></div><div><br />What's missing in Python 3.4, is that most modules with functions or methods that take file names or file paths as parameters are not pathlib-aware, so a mandatory str(mypahtlibpath) is required.<br />
<br /></div>For example, you cannot do:<br /><br /><div style="margin-left:40px">f = open(Path(_file__) / 'app.conf')<br /><br /></div>It will fail.<br /><div><div><div><br /></div><div>But pathlib as part of the standard lib is new, so it's OK. <br />

Better yet, use the pathlib module.<br />

Thank for the reminder. I took a better look at it.<div class=""><br />

As it stands, the pathlib module is only provisional plus,<br />

'Provisional' means that there *could* be a few api changes that would break code. The module is not going away.<div class=""><br />

IMO, kind of overkill for a simple task like that.<br />

Overkill?<br />
<br />
import pathlib as path<br />
import os.path as path<br />
<br />
are equally easy<br />
<br />
The 'simple task' combines joining, normalizing, and 'absoluting'. pathlib.Path joins, Path.resolve normalizes and 'absolutes'. Together they combine the functions of os.path.join, os.path.abspath and os.path.normpath, with a nicer syntax, and with OS awareness.<br />
<br />
>>> path.Path('../../../Python27/<u></u>lib', 'ast.py').resolve()<br />
WindowsPath('C:/Programs/<u></u>Python27/Lib/ast.py')<br />
<br />
If one starts with a Path object, as would be typical, one can use '/' to join, as JuanCarlo mentioned.<br />
<br />
>>> base = path.Path('.')<br />
>>> (base / '../../../Python27/lib' / 'ast.py').resolve()<br />
WindowsPath('C:/Programs/<u></u>Python27/Lib/ast.py')<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br />
