Jason Orendorff's path module

andybak

Hi,

I know this has been consigned to oblivion by the BDFL but I'm rather
addicted to it's use. I notice the original site is no longer there.
Has anyone got a cached copy of the page that I can host for
posterity?

Which rather makes me wonder - lot's of people liked this module or
rather disliked os.path. Is there anything salvageable from the BDFL's
objections worthy of a PEP?

You can download a copy from the Python package index: pypi.python.org

Funny you should bring this up today.. I was just thinking the same
thing (-: and I looked at the pep (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/
pep-0355/) and the final (pep) version of the path module, which is at
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PathModule

If the primary issue that killed this pep was due to inheritance from
the str type, i.e. the fact that a lot of unnecessary string functions
would be inherited into an already functionally-fat path class, then
perhaps that problem had to be addressed first, as it would probably
crop up in other areas. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I presume ABCs
(abstract base classes) were intended to help in such cases?
