Jason Orendorff, where are you?
January 7th, 2005
I’ve been reading lots of good things about Jason Orendorff’s path module lately. I’ve been sprucing up my app’s build/packaging process and using os.path a lot. I wish I had Jason’s path module, but his site seems to have fallen over. That seems to be the only place to get the module, short of begging people who already have it (something I’m not above doing 
the py lib has something similar but probably more powerful and comes with other stuff you most certainly want to take a look at (like py.test):

http://codespeak.net/svn/py/dist/
After a cursory look in the code there, that is something I’ll have to take a better look at. The path stuff does look useful (though it’s unclear at first glance if it’s quicker and easier than Jason’s path module), and py.test does look like a nice test driver.
Snag a copy from my personal CVS if you need it. Jason had an extremely liberal license attached to the module:

Cool. Ned Batchelder just emailed me a copy as well. There’s nothing quite like sending out an SOS on a blog
