Common pathname manipulations, WindowsNT/95 version. Instead of importing this module directly, import os and refer to this module as os.path.
_abspath_fallback(path)
Return the absolute version of a path as a fallback function in case
`nt._getfullpathname` is not available or raises OSError. See bpo-31047 for
more.
basename(p) Returns the final component of a pathname
commonpath(paths) Given a sequence of path names, returns the longest common sub-path.
commonprefix(m) Given a list of pathnames, returns the longest common leading component
dirname(p) Returns the directory component of a pathname
exists(path) Test whether a path exists. Returns False for broken symbolic links
expanduser(path)
Expand ~ and ~user constructs.
If user or $HOME is unknown, do nothing.
expandvars(path)
Expand shell variables of the forms $var, ${var} and %var%.
Unknown variables are left unchanged.
getatime(filename) Return the last access time of a file, reported by os.stat().
getctime(filename) Return the metadata change time of a file, reported by os.stat().
getmtime(filename) Return the last modification time of a file, reported by os.stat().
getsize(filename) Return the size of a file, reported by os.stat().
isabs(s) Test whether a path is absolute
isdir(s) Return true if the pathname refers to an existing directory.
isfile(path) Test whether a path is a regular file
islink(path)
Test whether a path is a symbolic link.
This will always return false for Windows prior to 6.0.
ismount(path)
Test whether a path is a mount point (a drive root, the root of a
share, or a mounted volume)
join(path, *paths)
lexists(path) Test whether a path exists. Returns True for broken symbolic links
normcase(s)
Normalize case of pathname.
Makes all characters lowercase and all slashes into backslashes.
normpath(path) Normalize path, eliminating double slashes, etc.
_abspath_fallback(path)
Return the absolute version of a path as a fallback function in case
`nt._getfullpathname` is not available or raises OSError. See bpo-31047 for
more.
relpath(path, start=None) Return a relative version of a path
samefile(f1, f2)
Test whether two pathnames reference the same actual file or directory
This is determined by the device number and i-node number and
raises an exception if an os.stat() call on either pathname fails.
sameopenfile(fp1, fp2) Test whether two open file objects reference the same file
samestat(s1, s2) Test whether two stat buffers reference the same file
split(p)
Split a pathname.
Return tuple (head, tail) where tail is everything after the final slash.
Either part may be empty.
splitdrive(p)
Split a pathname into drive/UNC sharepoint and relative path specifiers.
Returns a 2-tuple (drive_or_unc, path); either part may be empty.
If you assign
result = splitdrive(p)
It is always true that:
result[0] + result[1] == p
If the path contained a drive letter, drive_or_unc will contain everything
up to and including the colon. e.g. splitdrive("c:/dir") returns ("c:", "/dir")
If the path contained a UNC path, the drive_or_unc will contain the host name
and share up to but not including the fourth directory separator character.
e.g. splitdrive("//host/computer/dir") returns ("//host/computer", "/dir")
Paths cannot contain both a drive letter and a UNC path.
splitext(p)
Split the extension from a pathname.
Extension is everything from the last dot to the end, ignoring
leading dots. Returns "(root, ext)"; ext may be empty.
