Don't know where you're seeing this; I've tried a few of the functions and none work with HFS-style paths, only POSIX-style paths. The documentation describes it as an OS9 implementation of os.path, which I take to mean same Python API, presumably bridged to from os.path, but a different underlying implementation to get around the lack of POSIX APIs in OS 9 and earlier.

I would imagine os.path just uses the standard Unix APIs on OS X, in which case this module is completely redundant and can be removed fairly quickly after deprecation.

Way ahead of you already. :)
