So I guess I'm not the only one who tries to use a special class for 
paths as much as possible then? ;-)

Working with pathnames as strings is painful, IMHO. Using objects makes 
it much clearer, for me anyway.

path = Path(r'C:\documents\my\file.txt')
if path.isfile():
	shutil.copyfile(path.get(), ....)
print path.dir()
other_path = path.parent() / 'subdir' / 'otherfile' + '.txt'
...
