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')    

There was a discussion of pathlib a few days ago: https://programming.dev/post/21864360

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

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

They still messed up the default encoding though unfortunately.
