I'm trying to adapt someone's code for my (Windows 7) purposes. His is unfortunately UNIX specific. He does
dir_ = pathlib.PosixPath(str(somePathVariable))
os.chdir(str(dir_))
for pth in dir_:
# some operations here
Running this, I got (not surprisingly)
NotImplementedError: cannot instantiate 'PosixPath' on your system
I looked into the documentation for pathlib and thought yeah, I should just be able to change PosixPath to Path and I would be fine. Well, then dir_ generates a WindowsPath object. So far, so good. However, I get
TypeError: 'WindowsPath' object is not iterable
pathlib is at version 1.0, what am I missing? The purpose is to iterate through files in the specific directory. Googling this second error gave 0 hits.
Remark: Could not use pathlib as a tag, hence I put it into the title.
Update
I have Python 2.7.3 and pathlib 1.0

The syntax to loop through each file individually in a loop is: create a variable (f for file, for example). Then define the data set you want the variable to cycle through. In this case, cycle through all files in the current directory using the * wildcard character (the * wildcard matches everything).
I guess you should use Path.iterdir().
for pth in dir_.iterdir():
#Do your stuff here
Try
for pth in dir_.iterdir():
