I would recommend not using it. IMO it's an amalgam of unrelated functionality (much like the Java equivalent BTW) and the existing os and os.path modules work just fine. Those who disagree with me haven't done a very good job of convincing me, so I expect this PEP to remain in limbo indefinitely, until it is eventually withdrawn or rejected.
