I guess the problem only occurs if "egg_infos" is part of the public interface. What if module A calls get_egg_infos(), then module B calls get_egg_infos(somePath), then module A uses "egg_infos" assuming that it still refers to the same set of paths.
Vaguely off-topic, but is it only me that hates the abbreviation "infos"? It can only realistically be an abbreviation for the word "informations" - and there's no such word :-(
Mmm, that's my frenglish, Sir ;) (If you see other weird stuff please let me know)
So I guess "get_egg_info" is the shortest, proper form ?
The thingy we're getting is called an "EggInfo", which would IMHO mean that "get_egg_infos" is technically the correct name for something that returns a list of them. I'd interpret the singular form as a function that returns one EggInfo object.
