Agreed. A summary posting, from someone who has a good handle on the<br>
issue and outcome, would be very helpful.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><ul><li>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)</li><li>Ethan Furman has volunteered to help out with code work (as have I)</li><li>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)</li><li>We are only discussing two things still (all going on in the threads relating to return values, arguments, types, etc. in their titles)...</li><ul><li>Should path.__fspath__() be allowed to return bytes on top of strings?
