Hello, Guido has told me that he was ready to approve PEP 428 (pathlib) in its latest amended form. Here is the last call for any comments or arguments against approval, before Guido marks the PEP accepted (or changes his mind :-)). Regards Antoine.

Isn't this redundant?

Path.cwd() PosixPath('/home/antoine/pathlib')

Probably this is just personal taste but I'd prefer the more explicit:

Path(os.getcwd()) PosixPath('/home/antoine/pathlib')

I understand all the os.* replication (Path.rename, Path.stat etc.) but all these methods assume you're dealing with an instantiated Path instance whereas Path.cwd is the only one which doesn't. Not a big deal anyway, it just catched my eye because it's different. Other than that the module looks absolutely awesome and a big improvement over os.path!
