Creating built in dynamically is not a good idea. Tools complain, new comers wonder where it comes from, it sets a precedent for adding more or debating about it. Better have the debate once here, make it official or decline it officially, and have a clean result. Le 08/06/2018 à 21:28, Barry a écrit :

If its for personal convenience you can always do this trick, that is used by gettext to make _ a builtin.

import pathlib import builtings

builtins.__dict__['Path'] = pathlib.Path

Now Path *is* a builtin for the rest of the code.
