Description

Currently, examples and code us os.path to interact with the file system. We'd like to transition to using pathlib instead. We're looking for someone interested in helping work with us on making this transition.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search for all uses of os.path in the codebase and replace them with equivalent pathlib methods (e.g., os.path.join > Path /, os.path.exists > Path.exists, etc.). Refer to Python's pathlib documentation for mapping.
