pathspec

pathspec is a utility library for gitignore-style pattern matching of file paths, implementing Git's wildmatch/gitignore specification. Current stable version is 1.0.4 (released 2025). The project is actively maintained by Caleb P. Burns and releases roughly a few times per year. It is a zero-dependency pure-Python library widely used by tools such as Black, pip, and Poetry for .gitignore-based file filtering.
