New submission from Antony Lee <anntzer....@gmail.com>:
As of Py3.8/Linux:
In [1]: os.environ["foo"] = Path("bar")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)

In [2]: subprocess.run('echo "$foo"', env={**os.environ, "foo":
Path("bar")}, shell=True)
bar
Out[2]: CompletedProcess(args='echo "$foo"', returncode=0)
I guess it would be nice if it was possible to set os.environ entries to
Path-like values, but most importantly, it seems a bit inconsistent that doing
so is not possible on os.environ, but works when setting the `env` of a
subprocess call.
