I almost said something about Common Lisp's PATHNAME type, but I didn't. An extremely quick reading of that page tells me that os.pathlib addresses *some* of the issues that PATHNAME addresses, but os.pathlib seems more limited in scope (e.g., os.pathlib doesn't account for filesystems with versioned files). I'll certainly have a closer look later. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
