New submission from David Ellis: Trying to use configparser.ConfigParser.read on a pathlib object results in a TypeError. If supplied in a list it works as expected.
Repro: >>> import pathlib, configparser >>> configparser.ConfigParser().read(pathlib.Path('some.ini')) TypeError: 'PosixPath' object is not iterable The issue appears to be line 690 which checks for str before attempting to iterate and doesn't check for os.PathLike (or bytes?). This was actually mentioned as an example where pathlib did not work here: https://bugs.python.org/issue22570 ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 288378 nosy: David Ellis priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: configparser.ConfigParser.read() does not accept Pathlib path as a single argument. type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29623> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
