-----------------------------------------+------------------------
Code in django.core.storage will explode when given a Pathlib object on
Python 3.4 and 3.5. For example, this throws a cryptic `AttributeError:
'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'rfind'` exception due to
`generate_filename` only expecting strings:
{{{
def upload_to(filename):
return pathlib.Path(filename)
class Storage(models.Model):
file = models.FileField(upload_to=upload_to)
}}}
More generally, it would be nice if all methods in the django.core.files
accepted pathlib objects, and used pathlib objects internally. For
compatibility reasons I think strings would have to be returned.
