pathlib vs pathlib2 #74

Closed lepmik closed 5 years ago

lepmik commented 5 years ago

pathlib2 is the only available pathlib in macports, to facilitate both we could try to import pathlib2 if importing pathlib fails. or we could change dependency to pathlib2 as it is both in pypi and anaconda.

Which version of Python are you using?

As far as I can see, pathlib is part of the standard library since Python 3.4 and should always be present. It could be missing if you are using Python 2.7, but MacPorts serves also Python 3 packages. It also seems like pathlib2 is not an official module, but a package that tracks the official module, since the original pathlib package that tracked the original module is no longer maintained: https://pypi.org/project/pathlib/ https://pypi.org/project/pathlib2/

I would prefer if we try import pathlib and then import pathlib2 as pathlib with a comment to remove this try/except block when people have finally left Python 2 behind. It seems better than having us depend on the pathlib2 package, which one day might also be outdated.
