pathobject

The aim of this library is to provide an easy_install-able update of Jason Orendorff’s path library, free from deprecation warnings and compatible with Python 2.3+.

Another major goal of this library is to be path module-agnostic. Using a different path module is quite simple:

>>> from pathobject import Path
>>> import ntpath
>>> import posixpath

>>> POSIXPath = Path.for_path_module(posixpath, name='POSIXPath')
>>> POSIXPath('/a/b/c').splitall()
[POSIXPath(u'/'), u'a', u'b', u'c']

>>> NTPath = Path.for_path_module(ntpath, name='NTPath')
>>> NTPath(u'C:\\Documents and Settings\\Zack').splitdrive()
(NTPath(u'C:'), u'\\Documents and Settings\\Zack')

The benefit of this is that you can manipulate Windows paths from a UNIX system, and vice versa—something simple reliance on os.path doesn’t allow.
