 }}}

 Environment:
 Windows 10
 Python: 3.7.6
 Django: 3.1.3

 Steps to reproduce:
 {{{
 django-admin startproject mysite
 set PYTHONPATH=<thelocaldir>
 django-admin runserver --settings=mysite.settings
 }}}

 Apparently django.utils.autoreload.get_child_arguments returns
 WindowsPath("C:\Users\someone\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts
 \django-admin.exe") as the first argument,
 and subprocess.Popen expects a string and is not able to use Path.

 The following monkey-patch fixes the error:
 {{{
 def get_child_arguments_override():
     args = autoreload._get_child_arguments()
     for i, arg in enumerate(args):
         if isinstance(arg, Path):
             args[i] = str(arg)
     return args

 autoreload._get_child_arguments = autoreload.get_child_arguments
 autoreload.get_child_arguments = get_child_arguments_override
 }}}
