Funny you should bring this up today.. I was just thinking the same thing (-: and I looked at the pep (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/ pep-0355/) and the final (pep) version of the path module, which is at http://wiki.python.org/moin/PathModule If the primary issue that killed this pep was due to inheritance from the str type, i.e. the fact that a lot of unnecessary string functions would be inherited into an already functionally-fat path class, then perhaps that problem had to be addressed first, as it would probably crop up in other areas. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I presume ABCs (abstract base classes) were intended to help in such cases? AK -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
