Mike is mistaken here; Twisted has a module, twisted.python.filepath, which has been used extensively in production as well as by other projects.  You can see such a project here (just the first hit on google code search):

    http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=+twisted+python+filepath+show:3PfULFjjkV4:Vyh6PbYbXnU:7_Cvpg7zWo4&sa=N&cd=30&ct=rc&cs_p=https://taupro.com/pubsvn/Projects/Xanalogica/ShardsKeeper/trunk&cs_f=shardskeeper.py#a0

and the source to the module itself here:

    http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/python/filepath.py

Twisted's filepath implementation also provides a zipfile implementation of the same interface, so that, for example, you can copy a directory in the filesystem and put it into a zipfile with the same function.  We plan to eventually also include tarfile and in-memory implementations.

Of course, I am FilePath's author, so I have a certain bias; but I think it would be well suited to the standard library, and I would be interested to hear any feedback on it, especially that which would make it unsuitable for inclusion.
