Inspirations

The pathspec library provides the gitignore pattern matching that powers searchpath's optional GitignoreMatcher.

Python's pathlib module provides the foundation for searchpath's path handling. The library complements pathlib's glob feature with ordered directory searching and provenance tracking.

AI help

The development of this library involved AI language models, specifically Claude. AI tools contributed to drafting code, tests, and documentation. Human authors made all design decisions and final implementations, and they reviewed, edited, and validated AI-generated content. The authors take full responsibility for the correctness of this software.
