Package: python-pathlib (1.0.1-2)

set of Python 2 classes to handle filesystem paths

Pathlib offers a set of classes to handle filesystem paths. It offers the following advantages over using string objects:

 * No more cumbersome use of os and os.path functions. Everything
   can be done easily through operators, attribute accesses, and method calls.
 * Embodies the semantics of different path types. For example,
   comparing Windows paths ignores casing.
 * Well-defined semantics, eliminating any warts or ambiguities
   (forward vs. backward slashes, etc.).

This is the Python 2 version of the package.
