Contains the following modules

See the documentation link (above) and module documentation for detailed docs.

changed

Code to check if directory contents have changed since last check.

listfiles

Yield (digest, fname) tuples for all interesting files in dirname. The file names are relative to curdir unless otherwise specified.

path

"Poor man's pathlib".  Object-oriented wrapper around `os.path` and
friends.  Similar to the Python 3 `pathlib`, however paths are
`str` subclasses and thus much easier to use in an environment
where `os.path` calls are interspersed with object-oriented code.

Brett Cannon strongly dislikes paths being `str` subclasses, see
https://snarky.ca/why-pathlib-path-doesn-t-inherit-from-str/
While I can agree with him in principle, this is clearly a case
of "practicality beats purity".  The official ``pathlib`` version
of ``'/b/' in Path('/a/b/c')`` is rather baroque.

pfind

Find directory where a file is located by walking up parent directories.

which

Functions for finding executable files on the path.
