I e-mailed Jason earlier this week before submitting the RFE. He said that "I'd like to see path (or something like it) in the standard library." He also said he didn't have time to write a PEP at the moment, but that I should feel free to do so.

[Python-Dev] using pyhon from the MSYS shell
I was trying to compile a python plugin (for gimp) using the MSYS shell and
the MINGW compiler.
I now have put this in 'sitecustomize'
$ cat /c/Python24/lib/site-packages/sitecustomize.py
import sys
import os
import re
if os.environ.get("MSYSTEM") == "MINGW32":
os.sep='/'
os.pathsep='/'
sys.prefix = re.sub('','/',sys.prefix)
sys.exec_prefix = re.sub('','/',sys.exec_prefix)
It would probably be better to have python detect that it's running from
inside the msys shell,
and output '/'es instead of '\'es.
maybe someone could extend os.path to do this in the standard distribution:
implement an msyspath.py, which calls ntpath for each function, and does a
replace at the end of the evaluation. Unfortunately, I'm just starting to
look into python, so I do not know what the cleanest implementation of this
would be...

[Python-Dev] getch() in msvcrt does not accept extended characters.
Hi all,
Please CC: me on any replies as I am not subscribed to this list. I
am the lead maintainer for the ntlmaps project
(http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net). Recently a bugreport logged against
ntlmaps has brought an issue to my attention (see:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1224877&group_id=69259&atid=523935).
The getpass() function in module getpass does not accept extended characters
on Windows. On Windows, the getpass() source uses the msvcrt module to capture
one character at a time from stdin via the _getch() function defined in
conio.h. Microsoft support capturing extended characters via _getch (see:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;57888), but it requires
making a second call to getch() if one of the 'magic' returns is encountered in
the first call (0x00 or 0xE0).
The relevant chunk of code in Python that would probably need to be
changed to support this appears to be in msvcrtmodule.c:
static PyObject *
msvcrt_getch(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
int ch;
char s[1];
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, ":getch"))
return NULL;
Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
ch = _getch();
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
s[0] = ch;
return PyString_FromStringAndSize(s, 1);
}
It would seem that it could be made to support extended characters by changing
it to:
static PyObject *
msvcrt_getch(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
int ch;
char s[1];
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, ":getch"))
return NULL;
Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
ch = _getch();
+if (ch == 0x00 || ch == 0XE0)
+ch = _getch();
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
s[0] = ch;
return PyString_FromStringAndSize(s, 1);
}
I haven't yet read the code for PyString_FromStringAndSize(), but presumably it
can coerce unicode/extended results out of the int (or could be made to)?
What are the chances of modifying msvcrt_getch() to support extended chars?
The unix_getpass() seems to already work OK with extended characters, so this
would ~seem~ to be a logical extension to the Windows version.
Thoughts?

I'm not good in C neither, but there's always work to do (not only coding, but also reviewing bugs, patchs, or dealing with documentation). You're more than welcomed.

Well, as it is your RFE... ;) I'm not eager to write a PEP right now, though I think I said so in a post. I just wanted to start a discussion here, so that you can write a better PEP .
