Unfortunately, I have no time to read all the details on this interesting thread (I wish), but I also have an alternative path implementation, feel free to scavenge anything from it you might find useful. I put it here:
http://furius.ca/pubcode/pub/conf/common/lib/python/ipath.py.html I think it is similar in spirit to what you proposed, a path being treated as a tuple, without the separators. This only makes sense. Using this class solved some really annoying problems while working on a project where I developed on my Linux laptop and released on the client's Windows machines. (I wish I could contribute in a more participatory way, but I'm really really swamped.) Anyway, +1 for a path encapsulation that is not a string, and that abstracts case-sensitiveness and path separators automatically. cheers, On 5/7/06, Noam Raphael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all again! > > Thanks to Mike's suggestion, I now opened a new wiki page, > AlternativePathDiscussion, in > http://wiki.python.org/moin/AlternativePathDiscussion > > The idea is to organize the discussion by dividing it into multiple > sections, and seeing what is agreed and what should be further > discussed.
