[issue32642] add support for path-like objects in sys.path
Noam Cohen added the comment: that's why pre-insert conversion was suggested. path-like objects could still be added to sys.path, while converting to str upon insert, preserving sys.path's bytes and strings only policy. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue32642> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue32642] add support for path-like objects in sys.path
Noam Cohen added the comment: So I've got in mind a PyListObject subclass with calls to PyOS_FSPath before insert, append, extend and __getitem__. But I feel like this is an overkill; also, extend function might be trickier to implement. Do any of you have better idea? -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue32642> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Noam Cohen added the comment: You've got a point. But in my opinion path-like object usage should be intuitive and users should not worry about converting it into string in some of the places. What do you feel about sub-classing list for sys.path and converting path-like objects upon setting items / reading? -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue32642> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
