[issue14626] os module: use keyword-only arguments for dir_fd and nofollow to reduce function count

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

I haven't read the code, but from Larry's description this looks great to me. It's amazing how many extra functions were added to the os module since 3.2! I also agree that the redundant functions that existed in 3.2 should stay and I don't see it's fair to deprecate them. I do hope that not too many people have written code based on the 3.3 alphas using all those extra functions, but I suppose they will get what they paid for.

Everything else Larry wrote also sounds reasonable to me.
