[OnePoint Python] pathlib, shutil, tempfile

A simple example of Python modules that are often used but seem difficult.

Some python modules are useful yet seem difficult.

• pathlib — Object-oriented filesystem paths
• tempfile — Generate temporary files and directories
• shutil — High-level file operations

The following example makes a new temporary directory logdir and delete all files and sub-directories under logdir .

import pathlib
import shutil
import tempfile
logdir = pathlib.Path(tempfile.mkdtemp())/"tensorboard_logs"
shutil.rmtree(logdir, ignore_errors=True)
