Do you mean:
base = Path('source/antipathy') base('test').listdir()
Yes, I think. That is, equivalent to (base / 'test').listdir()
I don't know about pathlib, but with antipathy's Path [1] you can do:
base.listdir('test')
I have wished for base.mkdir("subdir") too, but the addition to pathlib would be backwards incompatible for people that give the mode argument as a positional argument.
[1] Yes, that one is mine. The step is to make it pathlib compatible, which will involve, at a minimum, renaming some attributes.
I wonder if it is still possible to rename pathlib attributes (and keep the old ones as deprecated aliases for a while), now that the adoption of pathlib is still limited. -Koos
