So...how's that post mortem coming along? Did you get a sufficient
answer to your questions?
And the more interesting question is, will the effort to reform Python's
path functionality continue? From reading all the responses to your
post, I feel that the community is on the whole supportive of the idea
of refactoring os.path and friends, but they prefer a different
approach; And several of the responses sketch out some suggestions for
what that approach might be.
So what happens next?
