Can't import pathlib

Question

Whenever I write:

import pathlib 

or

from pathlib import path 

I got this:

ImportError: No module named pathlib

I tried also naming it os.path.

I'm on Python 2.7.14

Is pathlib in Python 2 or only in 3? If it's not available, what else can I use?

Answer 1

You may install library pathlib2 by the following command:

pip install pathlib2

After that, your import should work:

import pathlib2 as pathlib

If you want to use just standard modules, usage of os.path is also possible, but it has another functions and working differently.
