bpo-9850 has a scary title: "obsolete macpath module dangerously broken and 
should be removed". Extract:

   "Even if one did have a need to use the obsolete old-style paths, the 
macpath module is currently practically unusable for anything other than simple 
character manipulations of the path.  Nearly all of the functions that actually 
call OS routines are broken in one or more ways."
