Paths and folders with pathlib

Build file paths with pathlib.Path, check what exists, list files with glob, create folders and read or write text in one call.

You will be able to

• Build paths with Path and the / operator instead of gluing strings together
• Inspect a path's name, stem, suffix and parent, and check whether it exists
• List the files in a folder with iterdir() and glob() in a predictable order
• Create nested folders with mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) and use read_text()/write_text()
