fspath

✓ import fspath

Basic usage: create fspath objects and access semantic path components.

import fspath # Create a path object p = fspath.frompath('/tmp/example.txt') print(p) # /tmp/example.txt # Check properties print(p.exists()) print(p.is_file()) # Use semantic methods print(p.ext) # .txt print(p.stem) # example print(p.parent)

Debug

Known issues

gotchafspath is not compatible with pathlib.Path on all operations. Converting between types may lose semantic attributes.

fix

Always use fspath methods directly; avoid mixing with pathlib unless documented.

affects: all

deprecatedThe library is in maintenance mode with rare updates. New projects should consider using pathlib (Python 3.4+) or pathlib2 for older versions.

fix

Prefer pathlib for new projects; use fspath only for backward compatibility.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'ext'

fspath methods and attributes (like .ext) are only available on fspath objects, not plain strings.

fix

Convert string paths to fspath: p = fspath.frompath('/path/to/file.txt') then use p.ext

ImportError: No module named 'fspath'

fspath is not installed or installed in a different environment.

fix

Run 'pip install fspath' in your virtual environment.
