Huh? I though the strings were a OS-independent, human readable serialization and interchange format. Bytes would be the OS-dependent serialization. But yes, I suppose the file-system-level version would be inodes or something. But this is a string that represents a path, thus __pathstr__. And the term "path" is used all over the place (including os.path and pathlib) for this particular type of path, so I don't see why we need the "fs" or "os", other than the fact that __path__ is already taken. But I'm looking forward to using this bike shed regardless of its color, so that's the last I'll comment on that. -CHB _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
