Curious how often I use os.path.join and division, I searched a project of mine, and in 12k lines there were 34 uses of join, and 1 use of division. In smaller scripts os.path.join tends to show up a lot more (per line). I'm sure there's people who use division far more than I, and os.path.join less, but I'm guessing the majority of users are more like me. That's not necessarily a justification of / for paths, but at least this use for "/" wouldn't be obscure or mysterious after you get a little experience seeing code that uses it. -- Ian Bicking / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://blog.ianbicking.org _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
