I, herewith, claim to have used it in the past. But I am indifferent as to if its needed, it just looks natural to me. What I use quite often is:: path(__file__).dirname() / "somesiblingfileiknowisthere" you do not have to think about trailing slashes or absolute vs. relative. and its much better than:: from os.path import * join(dirname(__file__), "somesiblingfileiknowisthere") __div__ is actually very convenient to "build" / "a" / "very" / "very" / "long" / "path" (of course assuming the parts are strings not known initially...) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
