I won't even look at the PEP as long as it uses / or // (or any other operator) for concatenation. That's good, because it doesn't. :) http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0355.html No, but it does say that / may be reintroduced 'if the BFDL so desires'. I hope that doesn't mean the BDFL may be overruled. :^)

I'm not convinced by the rationale given why atime,ctime,mtime and size are methods rather than properties but I do find this PEP much more agreeable than the last time I looked at it.
