This has just been discussed very recently in this thread (and earlier

Could you point me to that? It seems I missed that part. I only found posts related to performance degradation.

However, the proposed semantics will change if the checks are swapped. So, my actual question is:

Is that an intended API inconsistency or a known bug supposed to be resolved later?

It may make sense, but it's not among our current worries.

It might not be yours but mine. ;) That's why I was asking.

Besides, we already added the new fspath semantics to the PEP.

While I hope Brett is asleep in his time zone, I'm guessing he will
agree (just saying this because you write "@Brett").

@Brett
Would you think it makes sense to swap the str/bytes check and the
__fspath__ check?


I just thought of a class subclassing str/bytes and defines __fspath__. Its
__fspath__ method would be ignored currently.


Best,
Sven
