Is pathlib a viable replacement for os.path?

[Larz60+]

Path (of pathlib) instantiates a concrete path for the platform the code is running on.
This means both purepaths (purely computational operations) and Concrete ( which inherit from pure paths but also provide I/O operations)

I have been using pathlib almost exclusively for about two months now, and really like how clean it is.

Since it is 100% object oriented, you can do things like:

from pathlib import Path
home = Path('.')
datapath = home / 'data'
jsonpath = datapath / 'json'
>>> imagepath = home / '..' / 'images'
>>> image_list = [x for x in imagepath.iterdir()]
>>> for image in image_list:
...     print(image)
