Hi, I'd like to see pathlib in 3.4 as well. Last week at PyCon.DE in Cologne several people have asked me about pathlib. We even had a BarCamp session about path libraries for Python. A couple of German Python users have promised to contribute doc improvements soonish. AFAIK stat caching and a os.listdir() generator with stat recycling (dirent->dtype) are open issues. I suggest Python 3.4 should ignore these features for now but prepare the API and documentation for future enhancements.

Thanks for the push. I have to cleanup / remove stat caching from the PEP (not sure yet which one, Nick expressed interest during the last discussion) and then polish it for pronouncement.

Still, I need to find someone to pronounce on it.

Regards

Antoine.
