How is it?
>>> pathlib.Path('/usr/lib')
PosixPath('/usr/lib')
>>> [pathlib.Path('/usr/lib')]
[PosixPath('/usr/lib')]
I think the problem is with the debug output. Always use repr() for it,
otherwise you will trick yourself.

It would be easier to catch if it was never working with non-string. I think we
should deprecate any non-string elements in sys.path.
As I shown above some code only works correctly with strings anyway.
