pathlib3x

library2.0.3pypypi✓ verified 91d ago

A backport of Python 3.10's pathlib module to Python 3.6-3.9 (now 3.8+) with a few extensions. It aims to provide a pure-Python drop-in replacement for pathlib.Path with additional features like globbing and pattern matching from later versions. Current version: 2.0.3, release cadence is low.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Path

✓ from pathlib3x import Path

✗ from pathlib import Path

Standard library pathlib is different, especially on older Python versions.

Basic usage mimicking pathlib with extended features.

from pathlib3x import Path p = Path('/tmp') print(p.exists()) # Using extended features (e.g., glob with pattern matching) for f in p.glob('**/*.txt'): print(f)

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPython 3.10+ users: pathlib3x is unnecessary; use the standard library.

fix

Remove pathlib3x dependency and use `from pathlib import Path`.

affects: >=3.10

gotchapathlib3x is pure Python, not implemented in C like the stdlib pathlib. Performance may be notably slower for large directory trees.

fix

If performance is critical, consider using `pathlib` from stdlib or `scandir`.

affects: all

breakingpathlib3x 2.0.0 dropped Python 3.6 and 3.7 support. Only 3.8+ is supported.

fix

Update Python to 3.8+ if pinned to pathlib3x>=2.0.0.

affects: >=2.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pathlib3x'

Package not installed or environment mismatch.

fix

Run `pip install pathlib3x` in the correct environment.

AttributeError: module 'pathlib' has no attribute 'Path'

Mistakenly imported stdlib pathlib instead of pathlib3x.

fix

Use `from pathlib3x import Path` instead of `from pathlib import Path`.
