How to manipulate and change the extension of a file path using the path package?

To manipulate and change the extension of a file path using the path package in Python, you can follow these steps:

1. Install the path package if it is not already installed. You can use the following command to install it:

   pip install path

2. Import the Path class from the path module:

   from path import Path

3. Create a Path object by passing the file path to it:

   file_path = Path('/path/to/file.txt')

4. Use the with_suffix() method to change the extension of the file path. Pass the desired new extension (including the dot) as an argument:

   new_file_path = file_path.with_suffix('.csv')

   This will create a new Path object with the updated extension.

5. If needed, you can retrieve the updated file path as a string using the str() method:

   print(new_file_path) # Output: /path/to/file.csv

   Note that the original file_path object is not modified. The with_suffix() method creates a new Path object representing the updated file path.

That's it! You have successfully manipulated and changed the extension of a file path using the path package.
