Hello all,
Since the revamped date/time implementations in FME, my use of small python-snippets has been reduced dramatically. No more 'import datetime' to do some simple operation.
Now the bulk of my python-use involves the os.path library, like splitting, joining or testing for existence.
There are a couple of transformers who have path-functionality, but I often need it in text-editor like situations. e.g. building the output-file-name of a writer from parts of the input parameters. Splitting and concatenating using 'text-methods' is not platform-agnostic due to the path-separator. So I put in some python-scripted-parameter.
So please, give the os.path methods the same treatment as the datetime library got some years ago.
