I'm creating this post mainly so that I don't forget the name again.

It's also a really fun example of operator overloading. __div__ is overloaded to allow this syntax.

>>> p = PurePath('/etc')    
>>> p    
PurePosixPath('/etc')    
>>> p / 'init.d' / 'apache2'    
PurePosixPath('/etc/init.d/apache2')

They still messed up the default encoding though unfortunately.

sorry, I was looking for it today, which prompted me to create this post

os/os.path functions are named after their C counterparts.
