Code to check if directory contents have changed since last check.
Yield (digest, fname) tuples for all interesting files in dirname. The file names are relative to curdir unless otherwise specified.
"Poor man's pathlib". Object-oriented wrapper around os.path and friends. Similar to the Python 3 pathlib, however paths are str subclasses and thus much easier to use in an environment where os.path calls are interspersed with object-oriented code.
Brett Cannon strongly dislikes paths being str subclasses, see

While I can agree with him in principle, this is clearly a case
of "practicality beats purity". The official pathlib
version
of '/b/' in Path('/a/b/c')
is rather baroque.
Find directory where a file is located by walking up parent directories.
Functions for finding executable files on the path.
