It would be great (and save a lot of rehashing) if you could go over the python-dev discussion and add the relevant parts (for example, whether to include the div hack) to the PEP:

<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-June/054439.html>

In particular the points about Path being able to be a drop-in replacement for str/unicode are useful ones, and explain the use of joinpath() etc. It is really useful that I can use a Path anywhere I might have used an str and not have to worry about the conversions.
