How can I use pathlib for advanced file filtering in Python?

You can use the Path class from the pathlib module to filter files based on various criteria. What specific filtering do you have in mind?

I want to filter files by their extensions and modification dates.

You can use the glob method to filter by extensions and the stat method to check modification dates. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for filtering .txt files modified in the last week.

Here's a code snippet:

from pathlib import Path
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Define the directory
path = Path('your_directory')

# Get the time one week ago
one_week_ago = datetime.now() - timedelta(weeks=1)

# Filter .txt files modified in the last week
filtered_files = [f for f in path.glob('*.txt') if datetime.fromtimestamp(f.stat().st_mtime) > one_week_ago]

print(filtered_files)
