Is there a python equivalent of ruby's "Pathname" module?

Ruby has this really handy modul开发者_StackOverflow中文版e called Pathname.

Is there a python equivalent to it?

pathlib is the answer to all your python path woos.

Example functionality:

from pathlib import Path
p = Path.cwd()

with (p/'somefile.txt').open() as f:
    f.read()

p.is_dir()

That looks a lot like os.path.
