[Python-ideas] New PEP proposal -- Pathlib Module Should Contain All File Operations

[George Fischhof]

Hi Jason,

the status of os and shutil became this because of C functions in
implementation (I got something similar answer before)
...

What do you think, what would be a good way to solve this
- add stuff from os to shutil
- add stuff from os and shutil to pathlib
- create a new module on top of os, shutil and pathlib (we could name it
for example filelib
