I think that PurePath.__fspath__ should return a string. There’s no reason why we can’t in my opinion and doing so just limits the usefulness of the method. For instance, it’d prevent it from being possible to serialize a pure windows path and send it over the wire to a process running on a Windows machine, like say if you have a build master running on Linux and a build slave running on Windows. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
