How can I filter files using pathlib in Python?

You can use the Path class from the pathlib module to filter files. For example, you can use the .glob() method to find files that match a specific pattern.

Can you show me an example of filtering for .txt files?

Sure! You can do this:

from pathlib import Path

path = Path('your/directory')
txt_files = list(path.glob('*.txt'))

This will give you a list of all .txt files in the specified directory.

What if I want to filter files by modification date?

You can use the .stat() method to get the modification time of each file. Here's an example:

from pathlib import Path
import time

path = Path('your/directory')

# Get files modified in the last 7 days
recent_files = [f for f in path.iterdir() if f.is_file() and (time.time() - f.stat().st_mtime) < 7 * 86400]
