By the way, for us dinosaurs is this going to exactly match the pathlib implementation that can be used with py2?

pathlib up to 0.8 (on PyPI) has a different API - since there were so many changes done as part of the release process.

When pathlib-in-the-stdlib stabilizes, I plan to release a pathlib 1.0 on PyPI that will integrate the PEP's API.

In the meantime, if you don't mind installing from VCS, you clone the Mercurial repo (https://bitbucket.org/pitrou/pathlib/) and then checkout branch "pep428". It's 2.7-compatible.

Antoine.
