I like this better.
Add the method/attribute to str? (I assume so, much like __index__() is on
int, but I have not seen it explicitly stated so I would rather clarify it)
Makes sense
What will this do? Return a Path or a str? I don't think we need either.
Expand the C API to have something like PyObject_Path()?
PyUnicode_FromFSPath, perhaps? The return type is well-defined here,
so it can be done as an alternate constructor, and the C API
counterparts of os.fsdecode and os.fsencode are PyUnicode functions
(specifically PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault and PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault)
So this will do the same thing as os.fspath() at the C level, yes?
It's worth summarising in a PEP at least for communications purposes -
very easy for folks that don't follow python-dev to miss otherwise.
Plus my specific API suggestions are pretty different from Ethan's :)
*sigh* Okay.
