pdf2image, poppler and paths

Warning: This is a hack
There's probably a better way to do this, but I've used it for years and it suits my purposes:
Also, probably won't work on MS Windows since I use symbolic links. Not sure, I'm pretty much
A Linux only person.

import os
from pathlib import Path
 
 
class MyPaths:
    def __init__(self, depth=0):
        os.chdir(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

        dir_depth = abs(depth)

        HomePath = Path(".")

        while dir_depth:
            HomePath = HomePath / ".."
            dir_depth -= 1
 
        rootpath = HomePath / ".."
 
        self.datapath = rootpath / "data"
        self.datapath.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
 
        self.csvpath = self.datapath / "csv"
        self.csvpath.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
 
        self.docpath = rootpath / "docs"
        self.docpath.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
 
        self.jsonpath = self.datapath / "json"
        self.jsonpath.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
 
        self.htmlpath = self.datapath / "html"
        self.htmlpath.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
 
        self.pdfpath = self.datapath / 'PDF'
        self.pdfpath.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
 
        self.tmppath = self.datapath / "tmp"
        self.tmppath.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
 
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    MyPaths(depth=0)

now if you have a source directory like:

├── data
│ ├── csv
│ ├── PDF
│ └── tmp
├── docs
├── src
│ ├── ProvingGround
│ └──
│ ├─ MyProg.py
│ └── Create symbolic link to MyPaths.py here
└── venv
└── ...

then to use MyPaths in MyProg.py, instanceiate like mpath = MyPaths(depth=1)
if you have more directories below Proving Ground, increase size of depth accordingly

EDIT:
Note You most likely figured this out, depth is optional, 0 is assumed if not supplied.
