+1 for all of those that aren't also string methods. +0.9 for those that are string methods, although I suppose this depends on how much like a string a Path ends up like. Other than join() (covered in the __div__ discussion), split() is an interesting case, since the default split-on-whitespace (str.split) doesn't make a whole lot of sense with a Path, but split-on-pathsep (os.path.split) does. Does it make sense to be able to split a path on something else (like str.split), or should people just convert to/ from a string? Should there be a maxsplit argument? =Tony.Meyer _______________________________________________ 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
