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>

Best,<br>
