Saying "aarrgg" doesn't fix the situation nor motivate people to help out, especially when it sounds like you're not even sure yourself that it's even a problem. > > PPS: someone made a comment about "having to update every book about > python" -- so I"ll repeat: that decision was made when pathlib was added. > That was me and yes, we had to have updates made because we thought pathlib was worth it. At this point the PEP as proposed has not made the case that what it wants to add is worth it because right now it's just a huge bullet list of functions from two modules with no specific motivation behind the individual changes. The whole point of my comment is to say "we can't make changes just because; changes have to meet a certain bar of improvement" and this point the PEP has not proven there is such an improvement based on what has been proposed. IOW the core devs I have seen comment on this have pretty much all said "justify the individual methods" and yet no one has done that yet, so any discussion other than trying to meet that need is not helping to move anything forward.
