I guess we might consider adding __fspath__ in maintenance releases, and make open() support it? That would cover a significant share of use cases, although it might be weird if code written for 3.5.2 doesn't run on 3.5.1... So maybe just 3.6-> ? I'm not quite as busy as last week, so I might consider working on the stdlib changes if I find the time. Or is someone already working on this? -- Koos _______________________________________________ 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
