v13.1.0

  • #170: Added read_text and read_bytes methods to align with pathlib behavior. Deprecated text method. If you require newline normalization of text, use jaraco.text.normalize_newlines(Path.read_text()).

v13.0.0

  • #169: Renamed package from path.py to path. The docs make reference to a pet name "path pie" for easier discovery.

v12.5.0

  • #195: Project now depends on path.

v12.4.0

  • #169: Project now depends on path < 13.2.
  • Fixed typo in README.

v12.3.0

  • #169: Project is renamed to simply path. This release of path.py simply depends on path < 13.1.

v12.2.0

  • #169: Moved project at GitHub from jaraco/path.py to jaraco/path.

v12.1.0

  • #171: Fixed exception in rmdir_p when target is not empty.
  • #174: Rely on importlib.metadata on Python 3.8.

v12.0.2

  • Refreshed package metadata.

12.0.1

  • #166: Removed 'universal' wheel support.

12.0 ---

  • #148: Dropped support for Python 2.7 and 3.4.
  • Moved 'path' into a package.

11.5.2

  • #163: Corrected 'pymodules' typo in package declaration.

11.5.1

  • Minor packaging refresh.

11.5.0

  • #156: Re-wrote the handling of pattern matches for listdir, walk, and related methods, allowing the pattern to be a more complex object. This approach drastically simplifies the code and obviates the CaseInsensitivePattern and FastPath classes. Now the main Path class should be as performant as FastPath and case-insensitive matches can be readily constructed using the new path.matchers.CaseInsensitive class.

11.4.1

  • #153: Skip intermittently failing performance test on Python 2.

11.4.0

  • #130: Path.py now supports non-decodable filenames on Linux and Python 2, leveraging the backports.os package (as an optional dependency). Currently, only listdir is patched, but other os primitives may be patched similarly in the patch_for_linux_python2 function.
  • #141: For merge_tree, instead of relying on the deprecated distutils module, implement merge_tree explicitly. The update parameter is deprecated, instead superseded by a copy_function parameter and an only_newer wrapper for any copy function.

11.3.0

  • #151: No longer use two techniques for splitting lines. Instead, unconditionally rely on io.open for universal newlines support and always use splitlines.

11.2.0

  • #146: Rely on importlib_metadata instead of setuptools/pkg_resources to load the version of the module. Added tests ensuring a <100ms import time for the path module. This change adds an explicit dependency on the importlib_metadata package, but the project still supports copying of the path.py module without any dependencies.

11.1.0

  • #143, #144: Add iglob method.
  • #142, #145: Rename tempdir to TempDir and declare it as part of __all__. Retain tempdir for compatibility for now.
  • #145: TempDir.__enter__ no longer returns the TempDir instance, but instead returns a Path instance, suitable for entering to change the current working directory.

11.0.1

  • #136: Fixed test failures on BSD.
  • Refreshed package metadata.

11.0

  • Drop support for Python 3.3.

10.6

  • Renamed namebase to stem to match API of pathlib. Kept namebase as a deprecated alias for compatibility.

  • Added new with_suffix method, useful for renaming the extension on a Path:

    orig = Path('mydir/mypath.bat')
    renamed = orig.rename(orig.with_suffix('.cmd'))
    

10.5

  • Packaging refresh and readme updates.

10.4

  • #130: Removed surrogate_escape handler as it's no longer used.

10.3.1

  • #124: Fixed rmdir_p raising FileNotFoundError when directory does not exist on Windows.

10.3

  • #115: Added a new performance-optimized implementation for listdir operations, optimizing listdir, walk, walkfiles, walkdirs, and fnmatch, presented as the FastPath class.

    Please direct feedback on this implementation to the ticket, especially if the performance benefits justify it replacing the default Path class.

10.2

  • Symlink no longer requires the newlink parameter and will default to the basename of the target in the current working directory.

10.1

  • #123: Implement Path.__fspath__ per PEP 519.

10.0

  • Once again as in 8.0 remove deprecated path.path.

9.1

  • #121: Removed workaround for #61 added in 5.2. path.py now only supports file system paths that can be effectively decoded to text. It is the responsibility of the system implementer to ensure that filenames on the system are decodeable by sys.getfilesystemencoding().

9.0

  • Drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.2 as integration dependencies (pip) no longer support these versions.

8.3

  • Merge with latest skeleton, adding badges and test runs by default under tox instead of pytest-runner.
  • Documentation is no longer hosted with PyPI.

8.2.1

  • #112: Update Travis CI usage to only deploy on Python 3.5.

8.2

  • Refreshed project metadata based on jaraco's project skeleton.
  • Releases are now automatically published via Travis-CI.
  • #111: More aggressively trap errors when importing pkg_resources.

8.1.2

  • #105: By using unicode literals, avoid errors rendering the backslash in __get_owner_windows.

8.1.1

  • #102: Reluctantly restored reference to path.path in __all__.

8.1

  • #102: Restored path.path with a DeprecationWarning.

8.0

Removed path.path. Clients must now refer to the canonical name, path.Path as introduced in 6.2.

7.7

  • #88: Added support for resolving certain directories on a system to platform-friendly locations using the appdirs library. The Path.special method returns an SpecialResolver instance that will resolve a path in a scope (i.e. 'site' or 'user') and class (i.e. 'config', 'cache', 'data'). For example, to create a config directory for "My App":

    config_dir = Path.special("My App").user.config.makedirs_p()
    

    config_dir will exist in a user context and will be in a suitable platform-friendly location.

    As path.py does not currently have any dependencies, and to retain that expectation for a compatible upgrade path, appdirs must be installed to avoid an ImportError when invoking special.

  • #88: In order to support "multipath" results, where multiple paths are returned in a single, os.pathsep-separated string, a new class MultiPath now represents those special results. This functionality is experimental and may change. Feedback is invited.

7.6.2

  • Re-release of 7.6.1 without unintended feature.

7.6.1

  • #101: Supress error when path.py is not present as a distribution.

7.6

  • #100: Add merge_tree method for merging two existing directory trees.
  • Uses setuptools_scm for version management.

7.5

  • #97: __rdiv__ and __rtruediv__ are now defined.

7.4

  • #93: chown now appears in docs and raises NotImplementedError if os.chown isn't present.
  • #92: Added compatibility support for .samefile on platforms without os.samefile.

7.3

  • #91: Releases now include a universal wheel.

7.2

  • In chmod, added support for multiple symbolic masks (separated by commas).
  • In chmod, fixed issue in setting of symbolic mask with '=' where unreferenced permissions were cleared.

7.1

  • #23: Added support for symbolic masks to .chmod.

7.0

  • The open method now uses io.open and supports all of the parameters to that function. open will always raise an OSError on failure, even on Python 2.
  • Updated write_text to support additional newline patterns.
  • The text method now always returns text (never bytes), and thus requires an encoding parameter be supplied if the default encoding is not sufficient to decode the content of the file.

6.2

  • path class renamed to Path. The path name remains as an alias for compatibility.

6.1

  • chown now accepts names in addition to numeric IDs.

6.0

  • Drop support for Python 2.5. Python 2.6 or later required.
  • Installation now requires setuptools.

5.3

  • Allow arbitrary callables to be passed to path.walk errors parameter. Enables workaround for issues such as #73 and #56.

5.2

  • #61: path.listdir now decodes filenames from os.listdir when loading characters from a file. On Python 3, the behavior is unchanged. On Python 2, the behavior will now mimick that of Python 3, attempting to decode all filenames and paths using the encoding indicated by sys.getfilesystemencoding(), and escaping any undecodable characters using the 'surrogateescape' handler.

5.1

  • #53: Added path.in_place for editing files in place.

5.0

  • path.fnmatch now takes an optional parameter normcase and this parameter defaults to self.module.normcase (using case normalization most pertinent to the path object itself). Note that this change means that any paths using a custom ntpath module on non-Windows systems will have different fnmatch behavior. Before:

    # on Unix
    >>> p = path('Foo')
    >>> p.module = ntpath
    >>> p.fnmatch('foo')
    False
    

    After:

    # on any OS
    >>> p = path('Foo')
    >>> p.module = ntpath
    >>> p.fnmatch('foo')
    True
    

    To maintain the original behavior, either don't define the 'module' for the path or supply explicit normcase function:

    >>> p.fnmatch('foo', normcase=os.path.normcase)
    # result always varies based on OS, same as fnmatch.fnmatch
    

    For most use-cases, the default behavior should remain the same.

  • Issue #50: Methods that accept patterns (listdir, files, dirs, walk, walkdirs, walkfiles, and fnmatch) will now use a normcase attribute if it is present on the pattern parameter. The path module now provides a CaseInsensitivePattern wrapper for strings suitable for creating case-insensitive patterns for those methods.

4.4

  • Issue #44: _hash method would open files in text mode, producing invalid results on Windows. Now files are opened in binary mode, producing consistent results.
  • Issue #47: Documentation is dramatically improved with Intersphinx links to the Python os.path functions and documentation for all methods and properties.

4.3

  • Issue #32: Add chdir and cd methods.

4.2

  • open() now passes all positional and keyword arguments through to the underlying builtins.open call.

4.1

  • Native Python 2 and Python 3 support without using 2to3 during the build process.

4.0

  • Added a chunks() method to a allow quick iteration over pieces of a file at a given path.
  • Issue #28: Fix missing argument to samefile.
  • Initializer no longer enforces isinstance basestring for the source object. Now any object that supplies __unicode__ can be used by a path (except None). Clients that depend on a ValueError being raised for int and other non-string objects should trap these types internally.
  • Issue #30: chown no longer requires both uid and gid to be provided and will not mutate the ownership if nothing is provided.

3.2

  • Issue #22: __enter__ now returns self.

3.1

  • Issue #20: relpath now supports a "start" parameter to match the signature of os.path.relpath.

3.0

  • Minimum Python version is now 2.5.

2.6

  • Issue #5: Implemented path.tempdir, which returns a path object which is a temporary directory and context manager for cleaning up the directory.

  • Issue #12: One can now construct path objects from a list of strings by simply using path.joinpath. For example:

    path.joinpath('a', 'b', 'c') # or
    path.joinpath(*path_elements)
    

2.5

  • Issue #7: Add the ability to do chaining of operations that formerly only returned None.
  • Issue #4: Raise a TypeError when constructed from None.
