pathlib

The `pathlib` module provides an object-oriented interface for handling filesystem paths, simplifying path manipulations and making code more readable and concise compared to traditional modules like `os.path`. It has been part of Python's standard library since Python 3.4. The PyPI package 'pathlib' (version 1.0.1) is a backport for Python 3.3 and earlier, and Python 2.6/2.7. The module's features evolve with each Python version.
