Trying to pathlib instead of os.path

[tester_V]

Greetings!
I'm having a hard time justifying why I would use pathlib libraries instead of os.path.
It is not intuitive and I have a hell of a time trying to use it.
Here is an example, I have a directory with 3 Subdirs and 6 files.
I'm trying to test if an item is a file or directory.

mydir = 'c:\\02'
for esb in os.listdir(mydir) :
    print (esb)
    dr = pathlib.Path(esb)
    print (dr)

regardless if I use 'pathlib.Path" or 'pathlib.PurePath'
both prints are the same.
When I add 'If' to test for Dir/File :

mydir = 'c:\\02'
for esb in os.listdir(mydir) :
    #print (esb)
    dr = pathlib.Path(esb)
    #print (dr)
    item = dr.is_file()
    if item :
        print(f" File") 
    else :
        print(f" Directory")

It prints all 9 items are directories.
Thank you.
