[Python-ideas] Updated PEP 428 (pathlib)

[Charles-François Natali]

> Hello,

Hi,

> I've updated PEP 428 following the previous discussion.

I really look forward to PEP 428 acceptance :-)

Just a couple remarks:

>>> p = PureNTPath('c:/Downloads/pathlib.tar.gz')
>>> p.name
'pathlib.tar.gz'
>>> p.basename
'pathlib.tar'
>>> p.suffix
'.gz'

I find the 'p.basename' name confusing: following POSIX conventions,
'basename' should be 'pathlib.tar.gz'. I don't have another 'name' to
propose for the stripped name, though.

> match() matches the path against a glob pattern:

I think it could be interesting to add an optional argument to
mitigate glob-based DoS. Whether this should be made default is left
as an exercise to the reader :-)
