The portions of these modules that have to do with files and file paths are collected in the path module which many people find very handy: http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/index.html A version of this has been proposed for the standard library: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0355/ Unfortunately not everyone loves this module and there has been a fair amount of wrangling about the details and for now PEP 355 is rejected.
