I agree on the monkeypatching of pathlib. It makes it difficult for a reader to look up what the functions do. Providing a different module, like `import nPathlib as Pathlib` would be a lot more discoverable.

Your coding environment really should be providing that basic functionality for you.

Do you have example of environment that can do this? I don’t think even pycharm manages.

While I generally agree with your sentiment, dynamic monkey patching and heavy meta programming like this is usually not very friendly for any implementation of auto complete.
