Path objects also override the / operator to join paths

This is both cool and gross... gives me C++ vibes (operator overloading abuse).

They could have chosen a better operator. But the functionality is fantastic. Makes working with paths so much easier. And you can even use slashes on windows paths.

It makes the code so much more clean and readable since you're dropping multiple levels of brackets , for example

os.path.join( a, b, os.path.dirname(c))

Becomes

a / b / c.parent

I really like it

Nice, mypath.open() is a more semantic alternative to open(my path)

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Don't forget about the helper functions mypath.read_text() and mypath.write_text(content)

that's already in the cheatsheet
