Python has an excellent module for path handling called pathlib (see blog post). How to mimic it in D?

(1) pathlib in D

from pathlib import Path

def main():
p = Path("/usr/lib/python2.5/gopherlib.py")
# 1
print(p.parent) # /usr/lib/python2.5
# 2
print(p.name) # gopherlib.py
# 3
print(p.suffix) # .py
# 4
print(p.stem) # gopherlib
# 5
q = Path("/trash", "xxx", "movie.mp4")
print(q) # /trash/xxx/movie.mp4
# 6
print(Path.home()) # /home/jabba

import std.stdio;
import std.path; // from here
import std.process : environment;

void main()
{
string p = "/usr/lib/python2.5/gopherlib.py";
// 1
writeln(p.dirName); // /usr/lib/python2.5
// 2
writeln(p.baseName); // gopherlib.py
// 3
writeln(p.extension); // .py
// 4
writeln(p.baseName.stripExtension); // gopherlib
// 5
string q = buildPath("/trash", "xxx", "movie.mp4");
writeln(q); // /trash/xxx/movie.mp4
// 6
writeln(expandTilde("~")); // /home/jabba
writeln(environment["HOME"]); // /home/jabba
}
