New submission from Filipe Laíns <la...@riseup.net>: The files()/Traversable api is meant to replace ResourceReader api, but it falls short in one dimension, tying the abstraction to a file system path.
I propose to document that Traversable users *should* implement __fspath__ if the Traversable represents a file-system path. This will essentially make os.fspath(importlib.resources.files(module) / resource) the equivalent of importlib.resources.path(module, resource), for which currently there is no replacement using files(). ---------- messages: 394083 nosy: FFY00, brett.cannon, jaraco priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Recommend importlib.abc.Traversable users to implement __fspath__ versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44200> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
