Windows path in Python












77














What is the best way to represent a Windows directory, for example "C:meshesas"? I have been trying to modify a script but it never works because I can't seem to get the directory right, I assume because of the '' acting as escape character?

          you can use always:



          'C:/mydir'


          this works both in linux and windows.
          Other posibility is



          'C:\mydir'


          if you have problems with some names you can also try raw string literals:



          r'C:mydir'


          however best practice is to use the os.path module functions that always select the correct configuration for your OS:



          os.path.join(mydir, myfile)


          From python 3.4 you can also use the pathlib module. This is equivelent to the above:



          pathlib.Path(mydir, myfile)


          or



          pathlib.Path(mydir) / myfile

            @Gareth, I am very lazy and often found myself using '/'. However in the long run the use of os.path is more convenient. It also allows you to use mydir and myfile as variables that you can easily modify.

          Use the os.path module.



          os.path.join( "C:", "meshes", "as" )


          Or use raw strings



          r"C:meshesas"

            os.path.join may not behave as you expect when a component is a drive letter, since relative paths are allowed even then. (The result of the first line is 'C:meshes\as' on Windows.)

          • @dash-tom-bang's comment is really important. Is the right thing to do to put "C:" as the first entry? Does that mess up some of cleanliness of using join?

            @JackO'Connor that's what I do. You certainly do not want to put "C:" in the middle of the file name. Besides, you can use os.path.normpath before or after a join, to make sure the path gets printed nicely.

          Yes, in Python string literals denotes the start of an escape sequence. In your path you have a valid two-character escape sequence a, which is collapsed into one character that is ASCII Bell:



          >>> 'a'
          'x07'
          >>> len('a')
          1
          >>> 'C:meshesas'
          'C:\meshesx07s'
          >>> print('C:meshesas')
          C:meshess


          Other common escape sequences include t (tab), n (line feed), r (carriage return):



          >>> list('C:test')
          ['C', ':', 't', 'e', 's', 't']
          >>> list('C:nest')
          ['C', ':', 'n', 'e', 's', 't']
          >>> list('C:rest')
          ['C', ':', 'r', 'e', 's', 't']


          As you can see, in all these examples the backslash and the next character in the literal were grouped together to form a single character in the final string. The full list of Python's escape sequences is here.



          There are a variety of ways to deal with that:





          1. Python will not process escape sequences in string literals prefixed with r or R:



            >>> r'C:meshesas'
            'C:\meshes\as'
            >>> print(r'C:meshesas')
            C:meshesas


          2. Python on Windows should handle forward slashes, too.



          3. You could use os.path.join ...



            >>> import os
            >>> os.path.join('C:', os.sep, 'meshes', 'as')
            'C:\meshes\as'



          4. ... or the newer pathlib module



            >>> from pathlib import Path
            >>> Path('C:', '/', 'meshes', 'as')
            WindowsPath('C:/meshes/as')

            I like the r (raw string) syntax. Useful if you're copying a long path where you'd usually have to replace all the backslashes with forward slashes

            Use the os.path module.



            os.path.join( "C:", "meshes", "as" )


            Or use raw strings



            r"C:meshesas"

              os.path.join may not behave as you expect when a component is a drive letter, since relative paths are allowed even then. (The result of the first line is 'C:meshes\as' on Windows.)

            • @dash-tom-bang's comment is really important. Is the right thing to do to put "C:" as the first entry? Does that mess up some of cleanliness of using join?

              @JackO'Connor that's what I do. You certainly do not want to put "C:" in the middle of the file name. Besides, you can use os.path.normpath before or after a join, to make sure the path gets printed nicely.

            Yes, in Python string literals denotes the start of an escape sequence. In your path you have a valid two-character escape sequence a, which is collapsed into one character that is ASCII Bell:



            >>> 'a'
            'x07'
            >>> len('a')
            1
            >>> 'C:meshesas'
            'C:\meshesx07s'
            >>> print('C:meshesas')
            C:meshess


            Other common escape sequences include t (tab), n (line feed), r (carriage return):



            >>> list('C:test')
            ['C', ':', 't', 'e', 's', 't']
            >>> list('C:nest')
            ['C', ':', 'n', 'e', 's', 't']
            >>> list('C:rest')
            ['C', ':', 'r', 'e', 's', 't']


            As you can see, in all these examples the backslash and the next character in the literal were grouped together to form a single character in the final string. The full list of Python's escape sequences is here.



            There are a variety of ways to deal with that:





            1. Python will not process escape sequences in string literals prefixed with r or R:



              >>> r'C:meshesas'
              'C:\meshes\as'
              >>> print(r'C:meshesas')
              C:meshesas


            2. Python on Windows should handle forward slashes, too.



            3. You could use os.path.join ...



              >>> import os
              >>> os.path.join('C:', os.sep, 'meshes', 'as')
              'C:\meshes\as'



            4. ... or the newer pathlib module

              >>> Path('C:', '/', 'meshes', 'as')
