`pathlib`

Backport of the pathlib module for Jython 2.1.

Implemented mostly by using native os.path calls to mimic the behaviour of the pathlib.Path class.

Features

Initialization with string or parameters (Path("/tmp/sub_dir") or Path("/tmp", "sub_dir"))
Path concatenation through the division operator (Path("/tmp") / "sub_dir")
Same output for both str(...) and repr(...)
Subset of methods from the original Path:
- .absolute()
- .as_posix()
- .expanduser()
- .exists()
- .glob()
- .resolve()
- .read_bytes() and .read_text()
- .write_bytes() and .write_text()
- .unlink()
Subset of properties from the original Path:
- .name
- .parent
- .stem
- .suffix

from pathlib import Path

print(Path("~/.ssh/").expanduser().exists())
