I don't think anyone has proposed that. While I brought up os.path.exists() in my bug report, os.path.isfile(), os.path.isdir() etc should obviously be addressed simultaneously. It may even be that the fix needs to go to os.stat(). That's for the Python gods to decide. > All functions that take paths need to have a consistent response to > data that is impossible to pass to the OS. Possibly.
