Is there something similar to os.path.dirname(path), but in pathlib?

parts : returns a tuple that provides access to the path's components. name : the path component without any directory. parent : sequence providing access to the logical ancestors of the path. stem : final path component without its suffix.
The pathlib is a Python module which provides an object API for working with files and directories. The pathlib is a standard module. Path is the core object to work with files.
In order to obtain the Current Working Directory in Python, use the os. getcwd() method. This function of the Python OS module returns the string containing the absolute path to the current working directory.
It looks like there is a parents element that contains all the parent directories of a given path. E.g., if you start with:
>>> import pathlib >>> p = pathlib.Path('/path/to/my/file') Then p.parents[0] is the directory containing file:
>>> p.parents[0] PosixPath('/path/to/my') ...and p.parents[1] will be the next directory up:
>>> p.parents[1] PosixPath('/path/to') Etc.
p.parent is another way to ask for p.parents[0]. You can convert a Path into a string and get pretty much what you would expect:
>>> str(p.parent) '/path/to/my' And also on any Path you can use the .absolute() method to get an absolute path:
>>> os.chdir('/etc') >>> p = pathlib.Path('../relative/path') >>> str(p.parent) '../relative' >>> str(p.parent.absolute()) '/etc/../relative' Note that os.path.dirname and pathlib treat paths with a trailing slash differently. The pathlib parent of some/path/ is some:
>>> p = pathlib.Path('some/path/') >>> p.parent PosixPath('some') While os.path.dirname on some/path/ returns some/path:
>>> os.path.dirname('some/path/') 'some/path' If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
