class Path:
	"""This class represents a file path.
	
	A generic path object supports operations without needing to know
	about Windows and Linux differences. The standard str() function can
	obtain a string version of the path in Local format for use by
	platform-specific functions (file opening for example).
	
	We use forward slashes as path separators (even on Windows).
	
	For example,
	
		path1 = generic_path.Path("/foo")
		path2 = generic_path.Path("bar", "bing.bang")
		
		print str(path1.Append(path2))
		
	Prints /foo/bar/bing.bang		on Linux
	Prints c:/foo/bar/bing.bang		on Windows (if c is the current drive)
