# unixpath

> unix-style path processing functions

## Why?

My goal was to provide `posixpath` path processing functions in pure Python (e.g. `normpath`, `join`, `split`, etc) *minus* any functions that rely on any kind of "filesystem" concept (`stat`, etc).

Basically, this is a "minimum viable unix path processing framework." Path processing functions are useful for e.g. ML libraries that want to use unix-style paths to refer to model variables.

(Honestly `unixpath` is kind of pointless. Its functions are copy-pasted from `posixpath`, so why not just `import posixpath` and not worry about the extra dependency on `unixpath`? Answer: because I was curious how Python implemented their unix path processing functions, so I made this library as a learning exercise.)

## Install

```

python3 -m pip install -U unixpath

```

## Usage

```py

import unixpath

unixpath.join('a', 'b') # 'a/b'

unixpath.join('a', 'b', '..', 'c') # 'a/b/../c'

unixpath.normpath('a/b/../c') # 'a/c'

```
