YSK: there is a library called pathlib with different methods for accessing files which you might like since they do not require a context manager

    It’s also a really fun example of operator overloading. __div__ is overloaded to allow this syntax.

    >>> p = PurePath('/etc')    
    >>> p    
    PurePosixPath('/etc')    
    >>> p / 'init.d' / 'apache2'    
    PurePosixPath('/etc/init.d/apache2')

    I subconsciously replace os.path with pathlib whenever touching any module for a refactor.

    os/os.path functions are named after their C counterparts.
