I've submitted an updated version of the PEP. The only major change is that instead of the method atime and property getatime() there is now only one method named atime(). Also some information about the string inheritance problem in Open Issues. I still have no idea what to do about it though.
The current PEP still contains some redundancy between properties and methods under Specifications: basename() <-> name basename(), stripext() <-> namebase splitpath() <-> parent, name (documented) I would like to suggest to use only properties and use splitall() to obtain a tuple with the complete breakdown of the path. And may be splitall() could then be renamed to split(). The directory methods mkdir()/makedirs() and rmdir()/removedirs() could be unified. To me it seems they only exist because of Un*x details. my $0.005 --eric
