Yes it changed, I was doing work on a non-NT OS which had to play with
NT filenames in a file.

Trying to use os.path was obviously incorrect so I changed os.sep, that
failed - ah, I imported ntpath and used that directly.

It actually seemed the correct way to do it.

My guess is..

NTpath if for manipulating NT paths - which should always therefore obey
NT's conventions, os.path is for manipulating live path names on
whatever OS it is running.
