os.sep and os.path.sep

import osTrue

By chance I noticed it.
Are there differences (I think not...)?
IMHO, if there are no differences os.path.sep should be removed since
it may be confusing.

They are the same, as documented on
http://docs.python.org/lib/os-path.html#l2h-2796
And why do you think os.path.sep would be confusing?

If you lookup os module, not only os.sep but couple of other values are also imported from os.path.

from os.path import (curdir, pardir, sep, pathsep, defpath, extsep, altsep,
devnull)

Yes, you are right. There are no differences. They exists there for utility purposes. Removing them would be a bad idea.
