The g.os_path functions have a long history. Iirc, at one point they were an essential part of the wrappers that hid differences between python 2 and python 3. Today, *some* of the g.os_path functions do more than the corresponding os.path methods. The differences between the g.os_path functions and the corresponding os.path methods are subtle enough that it would be madness to contemplate removing the g.os_path functions. But for most scripts using os.path methods directly is clearer. So that's what I do. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
