pathlib
The goal of this series of videos is to demonstrate how to deal with files, paths and folders from python programmatically. We'll mainly discuss the python pathlib module.
Notes
Let's compare the two styles.
os.path style
import os
import json
path_str = os.path.join("settings", "config.json")
with open(path_str) as f:
d = json.loads(f.read())
pathlib style
import json
import pathlib
p = pathlib.Path("settings", "config.json")
d = json.loads(p.read_text())
It may certainly be a matter of preference, but the fact that one
does not need the context manager with open() is appreciated.
