Me too. In general. I've yet to overload a single operator that way in years of writing Python code, though I definitely sinned with the rest of the C++ crowd (in the early days). In actual usage with path.py, however, I've found the use of "/" to be quite unsurprising and benign relative to what I had expected. That's why (to my surprise) I found myself using and appreciating it. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
