[Python-Dev] Path PEP and the division operator (original) (raw)

I was tinkering with something today, and wondered whether it would cause fewer objections if the PEP used the floor division operator (//) to combine path fragments, instead of the true division operator?

The parallel to directory separators is still there, but the syntax isn't tied quite so strongly to the Unix path separator.

Cheers, Nick.
