Managing Paths

[cpaniaguam]

I see that in Python there are a number of ways to manipulate paths.

One can use os.path.join to splice up the parts of a path (as @hollandjg suggested above):

>>> from os.path import join as joinpath
>>> joinpath('foo','bar','zoo')
'foo/bar/zoo'

One can turn a string into a PosixPath object that supports path joining with strings using the / operator:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> Path('foo') / 'bar'
PosixPath('foo/bar')

Once can also just pass the pieces to join to the Path constructor:

>>> Path('foo','bar','zoo')
PosixPath('foo/bar/zoo')

And there are other ways! Should a convention for handling paths be adopted for this project? I am curious about what your preferences are.
