New submission from Marco Rougeth <ma...@rougeth.com>: This is issue is to suggest an enhancement to the shutil module, I believe it's quiet similar to the issue32642.
I was using shutil.copytree to copy some files around and I tried to pass Path-like objects as input but got the exception "TypeError: argument should be string, bytes or integer, not PosixPath". e.g. build_path = BASE_DIR / 'build' static_path = BASE_DIR / 'static' shutil.copytree(static_path, build_path) As said in issue32642, it "wasn't obvious because Path objects appear as strings in normal debug output". I had a look at the shutil source code and it seems that it wouldn't be to hard to implement. I'd love to do it, if it makes sense. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 313295 nosy: rougeth priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Shutil module functions could accept Path-like objects type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33004> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
