<p>This module implements some useful functions on pathnames. To read or write
|
||
files see <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#open" title="open"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">open()</span></code></a>, and for accessing the filesystem see the <a class="reference internal" href="os.html#module-os" title="os: Miscellaneous operating system interfaces."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">os</span></code></a>
|
||
module. The path parameters can be passed as strings, or bytes, or any object
|
||
implementing the <a class="reference internal" href="os.html#os.PathLike" title="os.PathLike"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">os.PathLike</span></code></a> protocol.</p>
|
||
<p>Unlike a Unix shell, Python does not do any <em>automatic</em> path expansions.
|
||
Functions such as <a class="reference internal" href="#os.path.expanduser" title="os.path.expanduser"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">expanduser()</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#os.path.expandvars" title="os.path.expandvars"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">expandvars()</span></code></a> can be invoked
|
||
explicitly when an application desires shell-like path expansion. (See also
|
||
the <a class="reference internal" href="glob.html#module-glob" title="glob: Unix shell style pathname pattern expansion."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">glob</span></code></a> module.)</p>

<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="pathlib.html#module-pathlib" title="pathlib: Object-oriented filesystem paths"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pathlib</span></code></a> module offers high-level path objects.</p>
|

</div>
|

<div class="admonition note">
|

<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
|
||
<p>All of these functions accept either only bytes or only string objects as
|
||
their parameters. The result is an object of the same type, if a path or
|
||
file name is returned.</p>

<p>Since different operating systems have different path name conventions, there
|
||
are several versions of this module in the standard library. The
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="#module-os.path" title="os.path: Operations on pathnames."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">os.path</span></code></a> module is always the path module suitable for the operating
|
||
system Python is running on, and therefore usable for local paths. However,
|
||
you can also import and use the individual modules if you want to manipulate
|
||
a path that is <em>always</em> in one of the different formats. They all have the
|
||
same interface:</p>
