Further changes by now:
* subdirs() is now dirs().
* fixed compare behaviour for unicode base (unicode has no rich compare)
* __iter__

But you must admit that that't the cleaner solution.

hiho,
what's the clean way to translate the tuple (0x73, 0x70, 0x61, 0x6D)

Hi,
the arguments in the previous thread were convincing enough, so I made the
Path class inherit from str/unicode again.
It still can be found in CVS:
/python/nondist/sandbox/path/{path.py,test_path.py}
One thing is still different, though: a Path instance won't compare to a regular
string.
