Hello All,
This is my first post here, so first a few words about me. My name is
Richard Barran. I live in Paris (but I'm English) and earn my living
by coding Oracle stored procedures in PL/SQL. I discovered Python 2
years ago and now use it in my day job for a variety of purposes:
quick scripts, unit testing of my proper PL/SQL stuff, code
deployment scripts and so on. Now down to business:
I'm the author of one of the relpath functions posted on the
ActiveState website* so I've read this thread with interest.
For some time I've been thinking of contributing something back to
Python, but I thought the relpath function was too specialised for
inclusion in the standard library. Also I wasn't clear on how to go
about getting the support of a python-dev member, as required in the
development process guidelines paper :-)
So I have a question: do the previous mails mean that a relpath
function might possibly be a usefull addition to os.path?
And if the answer to the previous question is yes, then should I
submit a patch, or is someone else already working on it?
Regards,
Richard Barran
