[issue43958] Importlib.metadata docs claim PackagePath is a Path subclass

[Paul Moore]

New submission from Paul Moore :

The importlib.metadata documentation states that the PackagePath class is "a 
pathlib.Path derived object". This isn't true - it's a PurePath subclass, and 
in particular it does not have a resolve() method. In fact, it has an 
undocumented custom locate() method that converts it into a Path object.

I propose changing the documentation to make it clear that it is a PurePath 
subclass, and explicitly documenting the locate() method.
