New submission from Thomas Scrace:

Currently os.path.join will raise an AttributeError if passed an argument that 
does not have an endswith() method.

A try/except around the offending line would let us raise a more helpful 
TypeError:

    except AttributeError as e:
        bad = e.args[0].split()[0]
        raise TypeError("object of type {} is not valid as a path"
        "component".format(type(bad)))
