  Description     : Backport of Python3's pathlib for Python 2

The old pathlib module on bitbucket is in bugfix-only mode. The goal of 
pathlib2 is to provide a backport of standard pathlib module which 
tracks the standard library module, so all the newest features of the 
standard pathlib can be used also on older Python versions.

Debian already has python-pathlib, but as the upstream description says, 
it stopped following the standard pathlib module, so this can be of 
interest.

I plan to maintain it within the Debian Python Modules Team.
