It'd be nice if that went away. Having to do that makes about as much sense to me as if you had to explicitly coerce an int to a float to add them together. Sure, explicit is better than implicit, but there are limits. You're explicitly calling os.path.join; isn't that explicit enough? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
