Isn't that simply because filesystems aren't object orientated? I can't call methods of a path through the filesystem. There's a difference between a path, which is, yes, always (?) a string, and a Path object that provides convenient methods/properties. (Maybe one of the experimental object-orientated file systems has non- string paths. I have no idea). =Tony.Meyer _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
