[issue27184] Support path objects in the ntpath module

Brett Cannon added the comment: os.path will be updated to work with __fspath__() as specified by Guido as part of the conversation for PEP 519 (IOW listing os.path as being updated in PEP 519 is not an accident). -- ___ Python tracker

Ethan Furman added the comment: The expected scenario, and the purpose of os.fspath(), is to enable high-level libraries to not know or care if they receive a pathlib object or a string. In other words, they already have os.path.join() and os.path.split() calls, and currently break noisily if
