Python Primers #3 - os vs pathlib modules for path/filesystem operations

In this video, we will look at two modules in Python that can be used to build paths and check whether files/directories exist.

1. the "os" module - an older module that contains a range of different utilities
2. the "pathlib" module - a newer module (Python 3.4+) that contains object-oriented utilities for working with paths/files.
