Thanks for the pointer, I found Guido's message http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-January/019427.html The various modules ntpath, posixpath, macpath etc. are not just their to support their own platform on itself. They are also there to support foreign pathname twiddling. E.g. On Windows I might have a need to munge posix paths -- I can do that by explicitly importing posixpath. Likewise the reverse. So I think changing ntpath.py to use os.set etc. would be wrong, and creating a new file os2emxpath.py is the right thing to do -- despite the endless cloning of the same code. :-( (Maybe a different way to share more code between the XXXpath modules could be devised.) Guido was objecting to having only one module that behaved differently depending on which platform it was used. NT and EMX now only share the functions that behave the same. ie you can import ntpath on an EMX and use it to make NT style path names. In that same Tim Peters replied Create _commonpath.py and put shared routines there. Then a blahpath.py can do from _commonpath import f, g, h to re-export them. So I'm only three years or so behind in thinking of it. FWIW Guido greenlit removing the code duplication on the py3k list http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2006-August/003218.html Sounds like a great 2.6 project.
