On Windows it's correct that splitext(".txt")[1] == splitext("foo.txt")[1]
and an implementation in which this is not true would be considered buggy.
On *ix it's correct that splitext(".txt")[1] != splitext("foo.txt")[1] and
the current behaviour is considered buggy. Since programmer expectations are
platform-specific, regardless of whether keywords are used or not, why not
make the default behaviour platform-specific and document that it's so?Alternatively, if a new path implementation ever gets up, a more neutral solution might be to have a platform-specific Path.filetype, which could handle Mac resources.. </delurk> Cheers, -T
