Python Standard Library: Pathlib

In this, our first stop on the Python Standard Library Tour, we visited the pathlib module. This is one of my favorite and most commonly used modules and the best way to work with filesystem paths and files, in Python.

This is the first of many modules we'll be going through. Which are you favorites, and where do you think we should go next?

[@duke007x3]

requests, pydantic, pytest, logging, pdb, unnitest.mock?
Thank you for your job!

[@JakeCallahan]

Some of those are third party packages, but would be great for another series. I may also do a whole series on pytest in the future.

[@JakeCallahan]

Absolutely!

[@DiptonilRoy]

Modules like os, sys and subprocess would be great. The first two often feel quite similar, for some reason. Also would like to know about the way Python handles low-level system calls (topics like difference between exit(), _exit(), etc. that seem very confusing in general).

[@DiptonilRoy]

The best thing about your videos is the fact that you actually show some situational samples from your previous experiences in code. I have not noticed any teacher (except a few, perhaps) in RUclips do this. This REALLY sets your content apart. Appreciate it.

[@JakeCallahan]

Thank you very much

this is some sweet content. I can't believe now I can create files from the command line of python lol I feel like a hacker.
