#Python #Pathlib

[coreyms]

Clarification around 6:42… The str() representation of the Pathlib object and the output of the name method are only the same in that specific example because that file and directory live within the top level of the current working directory. These outputs aren't always the same, such as when a file is another level deep. That would cause the str() representation to print out that entire relative path where the name would still just be the file name. You can see this in action at 9:18.

Watching this video brings back memories of my high school days when I learned Python by watching the valuable videos created by Mr. MS Corey, who has been like a teacher to me, even though we never met. I have been using Pathlib for some time now and find it to be a cleaner and better way of handling paths. I watched this tutorial purely for nostalgic reasons. Thank you very much, Mr. MS Corey; you are an amazing teacher.

I'm a simple man. when I see a Corey Schafer video, I like and watch. In that order.

[NipkowDisk]

Always a good day when I see a new video from Corey Schafer. Thank you!!

I used this from time to time, but then always forget how much better it is. This was a great example of why you should move over to pathlib. Thank you! Time to rewrite all my scripts!

[nicop]

I see a Corey video y press like! No matter what. Love to see you back Corey! Hope you are ok and finally solved all your issues!

[chiroyce]

Ahh good ol' memories of learning Python from Corey, warms my heart to see that you're still making one of the best Python tutorials ever.... once again thanks for everything you've done! :)

[NoahElRhandour]

Glad, one of my favorite teachers of all time is back!

[JithinJKumar]

Welcome back corey.. Im now a python developer because of you...

[markslima]

thank you so much for this excellent video and again, great to have you on here again with modern python tutorials!

[dgbene]

Took me a little while to get into. It’s so much easier than using os.

[bismarkasirifiantwi]

Continue your good work, Mr.Corey🥰😂😀👍

[darklucifer]

Sir i know you are busy with your work and life but its humble request please do consider to make a series on python, updated version
sharing you indepth knowledge of the concept, main aim is if one is to learn python than on which concepts he should focus on the base (foundations) to make way for a brilliant career like yours in python . A humble request sir do consider thanks

I've never really worked with the os module since my recent introduction to Python. I used the Pathlib module and really enjoyed it for automating my file management tasks and I discovered many more features of it from this video. I definitely don’t have to regret although I have to learn a bit on the other one you proposed

It's also fairly easy to modify Paths with the .with_name(), .with_stem() and .with_suffix() methods.

[mdsegara]

it's because os module is working with string that i'm still using os module, since i'm doing a lot of path modification script, with string is really easy to do it, and also couldn't move on from os.walk() that being easily to access and modifying all directories, subd, and files within a single loop.

Hey Corey, I'm a massive fan!

I see pyspark as a required skill for so many data engineering jobs. Do you have a video on it? If not what are your thoughts on making one?

You're the best!

[junpyohong]

I've been really enjoying using pathlib.Path because it provides intuitive operators and methods.
Thank you very much for the comprehensive and well described explanation of this module.

Your videos are so useful! Could you structure your Python playlist to show what to learn first, second, and so on? That would be helpful for beginners.

Sir, I like your Python courses, but they are a little old, are you going to record a new Python course?
