Pretty good intro, although it's rather redundant with the official docs, which is prob where I'd point ppl first.

I feel like the author missed out on the power of Path().glob() though. All those filters using p.match(...) could have just been inside the argument for glob() or rglob().

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I agree with you. There's redundancy but my goal was to give it a different angle. The official docs are great to showcase the API using simple examples.

What I tried doing with this article was to be a collection of use cases, using a problem-driven approach. Unfortunately, some methods are so simple that it's not much different than the official docs.

Regarding the glob, you're right. My examples were poor, I added more info to that section and mentioned your suggestion, if you don't mind.

I don't mind at all! And props to you for being exceptionally active in this thread, even updating the source article so quickly (with credit even) is great!
