pathlib.PurePath.parts

path components

A tuple of path components: ('/', 'usr', 'bin', 'python3') for '/usr/bin/python3'.

Syntax

PurePath(...).parts

The root (on Windows, the drive plus root, 'C:\\') comes as a separate first item. The reverse is passing the parts to the constructor: PurePath(*parts). parts is handy for checking whether a path lies inside a given directory or for finding a particular component.

Examples

from pathlib import PurePosixPath as P, PureWindowsPath as W
print(P('/usr/bin/python3').parts)  # → ('/', 'usr', 'bin', 'python3')
print(W('C:/Users/anna').parts)  # → ('C:\\', 'Users', 'anna')
print('bin' in P('/usr/bin/python3').parts)  # → True
