It seems fine to me to allow __fspath__ to return bytes as well as str. The only argument I can think against it is that something like pathlib.Path() would not work with a bytes returning __fspath__, but that’s not any different than what happens if you pass a bytes object directly into pathlib.Path as well. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
