I know this isn't really the place for this conversation, but:

It seems so clear to me that "PathLike" (as a type specifier) would mean: anything that can be passed into os.fspath to give me a path. (or, of course to the stdlib functions that take paths) Isn't the entire purpose of os.fspath that you can write code like: def fun(some_kind_of_path): some_kind_of_path = os.fspath(some_kind_of_path) (or just pass it to a function you takes PathLIke) and go on your merry way -- e.g. duck typing, baby! Is there really no way to annotate that simply now? -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
