Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: My point is that shlex.join() shouldn’t convert any arguments to strings, no matter their type. Just like str.join() doesn’t, and for the same reason.
Within the last few years there was a discussion on making str.join() auto-convert it’s arguments to str, and we decided not to, because it would mask too many bugs. I believe the same argument applies to shlex.join(). Path objects aren’t special enough to make an exception. There’s a proposal somewhere to also call str() on Path arguments to subprocess.run(). I’m opposed to that for the same reasons. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45130> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
