Use shutil for copy/move/archive operations.
Quick Answer
pathlib.Path is the modern way: Path("dir") / "file.txt" for path joining. path.exists(), path.is_file(), path.is_dir(). path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True). path.glob("*.txt") for file search. shutil.copy(), shutil.move(), shutil.rmtree() for file operations. os.walk() or Path.rglob() for directory traversal. Prefer pathlib over os.path for cleaner code.
