See also issue 13229.
You can replicate 'rm -f' like this:
for p in glob.glob('/dir/*'):
os.remove(p)
That doesn't seem worth an extra function.
The annoying one to emulate is 'rm -rf /dir/*', because with the current shutil
tools you have to make different calls depending on whether the object is a
file or a directory. Pathlib doesn't help with that (it has no generic
'remove' method that applies to both directories and files), but it does make
the iteration easier.
