No, the module has to at least have a nodding acquaintance with good
software design principles, avoid introducing too many ways to do the
same thing, and various other concerns many authors of modules on PyPI
often don't care about.

That's *why* path.py got rejected in the first place. Just as
ipaddress is not the same as ipaddr due to those additional concerns,
so will whatever path abstraction makes into the standard library take
those concerns into account.

Cheers,
Nick.
