Thanks Serhiy,
I've made the few additional changes you noted in the PR. I took out my
attempt with path_t. However, here is why I think argument clinic (or
something else?!) is actually intercepting the attempted call:
With my temporary debugging, I have this function in Modules/_gdbmmodule.c:
[clinic start generated code]*/
static PyObject *
dbmopen_impl(PyObject *module, PyObject *filename, const char *flags,
int mode)
/*[clinic end generated code: output=9527750f5df90764
input=812b7d74399ceb0e]*/
{
PyObject_Print(filename, stdout, 0);
printf(" from _gdbmmodule.c (XXX)\n");
/* ... rest of function ...*/
And I have a very simplified test script:
import _gdbm
import sys
from pathlib import Path
print(sys.version)
path = '/tmp/tmp.db'
db = _gdbm.open(path, 'c')
print("Opened with string path")
db.close()
db = _gdbm.open(Path(path), 'c')
print("Opened with path-like")
db.close()
The output of running this is:
3.11.0a0 (heads/bpo-45133-dirty:0376feb030, Sep 8 2021, 00:39:39) [GCC
10.3.0]
'/tmp/tmp.db' from _gdbmmodule.c (XXX)
Opened with string path
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/dmertz/tmp/pathlike-dbm.py", line 12, in <module>
db = _gdbm.open(Path(path), 'c')
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: open() argument 1 must be str, not PosixPath
So before I get to the first line of the _gdbm.open() function, the
TypeError is already occurring when passed a PosixPath.

Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food
from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the
uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting
advocates of freedom in prisons. Intellectual property is
to the 21st century what the slave trade was to the 16th.
