Brett Cannon added the comment: The key thing with the docs is that it doesn't say anywhere "takes a string path" or a "path as a string" or something else that suggests path-like objects don't work. If you want to clearly state that path-like objects are acceptable that is fine as well.
As for the bytes/str parts, path-like objects that return bytes should work, but only if everything is str or bytes as passed into the function (e.g. mixing the types should not be expected to work). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29447> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
