os.fspath() in the PEP works when given str or bytes directly, but those don't have a __fspath__ method, so directly calling the dunder method is not equivalent to calling os.fspath(). The whole point of having os.fspath() is to pass str or paths (or bytes) and get an appropriate object for lew-level functions. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
