Haha, not sure if you have actual allergy, or if you just remembered the fspath discussions nightmare ;). You're obviously not asking me, but I'd say anything in the 3.6 stdlib that takes a path, but not os.PathLike, should count as a bug. Otherwise there will just be surprises with code that works on 3.7 but not on the famously fspath-enabled 3.6. I'm not even 100% sure that backporting to 3.5 would be (or would have been) a bad idea; 3.5 will stick around for quite some time still. -- Koos -- + Koos Zevenhoven + http://twitter.com/k7hoven + _______________________________________________ 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
