Guido van Rossum:
Whoa! Do we really need a completely different mechanism for doing the same stuff we can already do?
One benefit I see for the path module is that it makes it easier to write code that behaves correctly with unicode paths on Windows. Currently, to implement code that may see unicode paths, you must first understand that unicode paths may be an issue, then write conditional code that uses either a string or unicode string to hold paths whenever a new path is created.
