  Description     : Python base classes for rich path objects

Binary package names: python3-pathlib-abc

 This package is a preview of ``pathlib`` functionality planned
 for a future release of Python; specifically, it provides three
 ABCs that can be used to implement path classes for non-local
 filesystems, such as archive files and
 storage servers:
 .
  - JoinablePath: Abstract base class for paths that do not perform I/O.
  - ReadablePath: Abstract base class for paths that support reading.
  - WritablePath: Abstract base class for paths that support writing.
 .
 These base classes are under active development. Once the base
 classes reach maturity, they may become part of the Python
 standard library, and this package will continue to provide a
 backport for older Python releases.

The package is a dependency of zarr and satpy.
The plan is to maintain it in debian-gis
