I always get irrationally angry when i see python code using os.path instead of pathlib. What is this, the nineties?

What big advantages does pathlib provide? os.path works just fine

  • Everything is in one library which offers consistency for all operations.
  • You can use forward slashes on Windows paths, which makes for much better readability.
  • You can access all the parts of a pathlib object with attributes like .stem, .suffix or .parent.
  • You can easily find the differences between paths with .relative_to()
  • You can easily build up complex paths with the / operator (no string additions).

Just off the top of my head.
