No offense intended; just look at this list and you'll see how
opinionated people can be, and how willing to express those opinions
in many words! Frank and courteous

Here is a *very* rough outline of my ideas. There are probably a few
mistakes in there. I've decided on three main main objects. A File
object, a Path object, and a Dir object.

Good point.
The two machines that the code works with are running python 2.6.1 and 2.7.2

providers.
