While checking find() uses in the stdlib I noticed that the various path modules have duplicate code and docstrings for some generic path manipulations. Delightfully they even have different implementations and docstrings for identical functions. splitext() is a great bad example - os2emxpath.splitext() builds up strings by doing char-by-char concatenations where everyone else uses find() + slice.
If there are no objections I'll move these into a module named genericpath.py and change the others to do from genericpath import func1, func2, funcN where applicable. So, any objections? Should it be a 2.6 backport too? -Jack _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
