- Guido has put Chris Angelico and myself in charge of drafting a proposal once we are done discussing things as a PEP (probably an amendment to the pathlib PEP where I will also explain why we are still not subclassing str)
- Ethan Furman has volunteered to help out with code work (as have I)
- Name bikeshedding never seems to end, but there seems to be coalescing around fspath or fspathname (I think, although fspath seems to be what everyone has been typing today; I'm trying to stay out of it so as to not influence too much)
- We are only discussing two things still (all going on in the threads
relating to return values, arguments, types, etc. in their titles)...
- Should path.fspath() be allowed to return bytes on top of strings? (we seem to have found an amicable way to allow os.fspath() to let a bytes argument pass through just like str in an explicit fashion)
- Should we explicitly type check in os.fspath() what path.fspath() returns or just let it fall through and hope people do the right thing?
That's pretty much it unless Chris or Ethan disagree. So I think pathlib is far from being as dead as a parrot. ;) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20160411/2801508d/attachment.html>
