I have a Path
Object representing C:UsersusersDownloadsimg.jpg
. How do I get it so the Path only represents C:UsersuserDownloads
? I don’t want to delete the file, but rather go back in the Path object itself.
from pathlib import Path path = Path('C:/Users/user/Downloads/img.jpg') # Want to get path only to C:UsersuserDownloads

Answer
I would utilize the PurePath class within pathlib as follows:
from pathlib import PurePath path = PurePath('C:/Users/user/Downloads/img.jpg') parent = path.parents[0]
This yields: PureWindowsPath('C:/Users/users/Downloads')
