What's the best way to add a trailing slash to a pathlib directory?

Question

I have a directory I\'d like to print out with a trailing slash: my_path = pathlib.Path(\'abc/def\')

Is there a nicer way of doing this than os.path.j

Answer 1

To add a trailing slash of the path's flavour using just pathlib you could do:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> my_path = Path("abc/def")
>>> str(my_path / "_")[:-1]  # add a dummy "_" component, then strip it
'abc/def/'

Looking into the source, there's also a Path._flavour.sep attribute:

>>> str(my_path) + my_path._flavour.sep
'abc/def/'

But it doesn't seem to have any documented accessor yet.
