• [$] Representing Python paths using pathlib

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Thu Aug 20 06:40:10 2026
    At the outset of his PyCon US 2026
    talk, Trey Hunner said that his goal was for attendees to stop representing filesystem paths as strings and to use pathlib
    instead. That's kind of a tall order, at least for longtime Python users, since string-based paths have been pervasive-and mostly work. It is that "mostly" part that makes Hunner want to see things change, of course, so he
    set out to describe a lesser-known corner of the language and to try to
    change some minds.
