Nope. DOS support in Python is fading. Does ntpath not work for your
needs? If not, try to make a case that it should still be in the
distribution. As far as I can tell ntpath is essentially a superset of
dospath. The only function in ntpath not in dospath is splitunc, which you
probably don't need. Also, nt accepts paths with / as the delimiter (and
thus, so does ntpath), which DOS never did.
