has just been made compatible with Python 3! It runs on everything from 2.4 forward, haven't testing anything prior to
that.
It is available for download at https://pypi.python.org//pypi/antipathy

Antipathy -- for those tired of ``os.path``
===========================================
Tired of calling a function for every path manipulation you need to do?
Is:
>>> path, filename = os.path.split(some_name)
>>> basename, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
>>> basename = basename + '_01'
>>> new_name = os.path.join(path, basename+ext)
wearing on your nerves?
In short, are you filled with antipathy [1] for os.path?
Then get antipathy and work with Path:
>>> some_name = Path('/home/ethan/source/my_file.txt')
>>> backups = Path('/home/ethan/backup/')
>>> print some_name.path
'/home/ethan/source/'
>>> print some_name.ext
'.txt'
>>> print some_name.exists()
True # (well, if it happens to exist at this moment ;)
>>> backup = backups / some_name.filename + '_01' + some_name.ext
>>> print backup
'/home/ethan/backup/my_file_01.txt'
>>> some_name.copy(backup)
Because Path is a subclass of bytes/str/unicode, it can still be passed to other functions that expect a
bytes/str/unicode object and work seamlessly [2].

[2] in most cases -- there are a few places that do a `type` check instead of
an `isinstance` check.
