I'm in agreement that perfect probably isn't applicable. If I were doing this myself, I might store the information in a tuple: base = 'some root structure ('/' or 'C') path = ['some','set','of','path','names'] filename = 'somefile.ext' pathdata = (root,path,filename) and write a couple of simple functions to reconstruct them based on the os. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
