The import system is already complex, so I think the hesitation about allowing arbitrary Path-like objects is warranted. (For example: are importlib's caching semantics really valid for *arbitrary* path-like objects? An object can be path-like without being immutable) Coercion on input (as Noam suggests) would have a much lower risk of unwanted side effects, as any dynamic behaviour would be resolved at insertion time. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32642> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
