New submission from alex rakowski <alexrakowsk...@gmail.com>:
Hello, I've noticed that when type hinting paths, it often becomes a bit verbose: from typing import Union import pathlib custom_path = Union[str, pathlib.Path] def foobar(x:custom_path): ... Writing functions which handle paths are pretty routine, I'm wondering if it is worth including something that is importable e.g. from typing import PathLike #or similar path_obj, PathType etc. def foobar(x:PathLike): ... Apologies if similar functionality already exists, Alex ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 396526 nosy: arakowski priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Build in type alias for paths type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44509> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
