Base classes for pathlib.Path-ish objects. Requires Python 3.7+.
This package is a preview of pathlib functionality planned for a future
release of Python; specifically, it provides two ABCs that can be used to
implement path classes for non-local filesystems, such as archive files and
storage servers:
PurePathBase- Abstract base class for paths that do not perform I/O.
PathBase- Abstract base class for paths that perform I/O.
These base classes are under active development. Once the base classes reach maturity, they will be made part of the Python standard library, and this package will continue to provide a backport for older Python releases.
Changes to pathlib_abc.py and test_pathlib_abc.py must be made in the
upstream CPython project, and undergo their usual CLA + code review process.
Once a change lands in CPython, it can be back-ported here.
Other changes (such as CI improvements) can be made as pull requests to this project.
