-1 on fssyspath - the "system" representation is bytes on POSIX, but not on Windows. Let's be explicit and go with fsbytespath(). But agreed that always-constant boolean parameters are a bad idea. The hard bit is good naming of the separate functions (100% agree that shutil is a good example of how not to do it :-)) Paul _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
