The AttributeError: 'posixpath' object has no attribute 'endswith' error typically occurs when you are trying to use the endswith method on an object of the posixpath type, which does not have this method.

The posixpath module is part of the Python standard library and provides functions for manipulating file and directory names in a way that is compatible with the POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) standard. The posixpath module does not have an endswith method, which is used to check if a string ends with a specific suffix.

To fix this error, you will need to use a different method or function to check if the string ends with a specific suffix.
One option is to use the str.endswith() method, which is available on Python strings:

Copy code
path = '/path/to/file.txt'

if path.endswith('.txt'):
    print('This is a text file')
Alternatively, you can use the os.path.splitext function to split the file name and extension, and then compare the extension to the desired suffix:

Copy code
import os

path = '/path/to/file.txt'
_, extension = os.path.splitext(path)

if extension == '.txt':
    print('This is a text file')
It's important to note that the posixpath module is only relevant on POSIX-compatible systems (e.g. Linux, MacOS), and may not be available on other platforms.
In that case, you will need to use a different method or module to manipulate file and directory names.
