If i had my druthers, this thread would be kept to either:<br>
<br>
"Shut up alex, we are really close to figuring this out"<br>
<br>
or <br>
<br>
"Ok, maybe you have a point."<br>
<br>
Every conceivable way to fix pathlib have already been argued. Are
any of them worth doing? Can we get consensus enough to implement
one of them? If not, we should consider either dropping the matter
or dropping the module.<br>

Funny that you brought it up. I was about posting something
myself. I cannot agree completely. But starting with a comment
from Paul, I realized that pathlib is something different than a
string. After doing the research and our issues with pathlib, I
found:<br>
<br>
<br>
- pathlib just needs to be improved (see my 5 points)<br>
- os[.path] should not tinkered with<br>
<br>
<br>
I know that all of those discussions of a new protocol
(path->str, __fspath__ etc. etc.) might be rendered worthless
by these two statements. But that's my conclusion.<br>
<br>
"os" and "os.path" are just lower level. "pathlib" is a
high-level, convenience library. When using it, I don't want to
use "os" or "os.path" anymore. If I still do, "pathlib" needs
improving. <b>Not "os" nor "os.path"</b>.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
