Type of a Path object

print(type(file_path))

<class 'pathlib.WindowsPath'>

Current working directory

print(Path.cwd())

file_path = base / "subfolder" / "file.txt"
print(file_path)

my_folder\subfolder\file.txt

Resolving and getting absolute paths

p = Path("my_folder/file.txt")
print(p.resolve())
print(p.absolute())

C:\Users\jaime\Desktop\my_folder\file.txt

Accessing parent directories, name, stem, and suffix

p = Path("/home/user/my_folder/file.txt")
print(p.parent)      
print(p.parents[0])  
print(p.parents[1])  
print(p.name)        
print(p.stem)        
print(p.suffix)
