UPath with SimpleCache (and other fsspec layers)?

[emfdavid]

UPath is amazing - this is the pattern I have been looking for!

I would like to be able to use some of the awesome url chaining options from fsspec. It seems like this should be possible... but I wonder if there is something I am missing about why you haven't done it?

I would be happy to work on it... I think it would be easiest to do modifying the existing UPath... I don't see a way to do it via a new subclass that would use other existing subclasses... but that would be cleaner if possible.
Suggestions welcome!

Hi @emfdavid

Happy to hear that you like universal-pathlib ❤ And thank you so much for offering to contribute 🙏

I wonder if there is something I am missing about why you haven't done it?

Mostly because I work on universal-pathlib in my free time and I've been extremely busy with work lately.

Yes, chaining support should be added to UPath itself. There are a few special things to consider, some are mentioned in my comment here: #28 (comment)

Let's also continue discussion in issue #28 (I'll close your issue for now)

Suggestions welcome!

I have started some work on this that I will push as a draft PR is pushed here as a draft PR #346 . And I will try to add more details to the other issue asap. And I added some todos to the PR. Let me know if there are any questions!

Cheers,
Andreas 😃
