With
from path import path
class NormPath(path):
def __str__(self):
return 'overridden __str__: ' + path.__str__(self.normpath())
np = NormPath('c:/mbk/test')
print 'np: "%s"' % np
print 'str(np): "%s"' % str(np)
print np / 'appendtest'
I get
np: "overridden __str__: c:/mbk/test"
str(np): "overridden __str__: c:/mbk/test"
overridden __str__: overridden __str__: c:/mbk/test/appendtest
Are you using the latest version of the path module? Older versions implied
a Path() call in the __div__() operator which would explain at least the
output you get for
print np / 'appendtest'
