rpaths

======

rpaths is yet another path manipulation library.

The [full documentation is built by ReadTheDocs](http://rpaths.remram.fr/en/latest/).

It pains me that I should have to write this, however after a survey of the existing packages, including [pathlib](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html) (included in the Python standard library since 3.4, see [PEP 428](http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0428/)), it appears that every one of them chokes on one valid filename or another.

* [Unipath](https://github.com/mikeorr/Unipath) is very close. In fact it is, with pathlib, one of the main inspirations for this work. Unfortunately it makes its path inherit from unicode or bytes, which makes the abstract/concrete class separation too tricky.

* [pathlib](https://bitbucket.org/pitrou/pathlib/) is affected with [a bug preventing it from representing some filenames on Windows on Python 2](https://bitbucket.org/pitrou/pathlib/issue/25); this bug was marked as wontfix. Furthermore, it works very differently on Python 2 and 3, which I believe is very counter-productive.

* [path.py](https://github.com/jaraco/path.py) is affected with [a bug making it fail when encountering some filenames on POSIX](https://github.com/jaraco/path.py/issues/61). This is also believed to allow for DoS attacks.

* [fpath](https://github.com/wackywendell/fpath) is affected with the [same bug](https://github.com/wackywendell/fpath/issues/5) as path.py.
