I think this option should be explored a bit more for python 3000.

Is this a matter of just adding name spaces, or do you have something more 
specific in mind?

    filesys.path
    filesys.curdir
    filesys.pardir
    filesys.open
    etc...

If this, then what methods and attributes under 'os' would be moved and which 
would stay?

Or is this too big a change?

And also if this, would name spaces be used to organize methods to other IO 
objects such as local or WWW networks, and etc.? (net.path, inet.path)
