New submission from David Rajaratnam <da...@gemarex.com.au>:
I'm trying to use `importlib.resources.files()`. However, I cannot work out how
to properly use the `importlib.readers.MultiplexedPath()` object that is
returned.
As I expect and want, the returned object is referring to a directory, but I
cannot seem to simply access the value of that path.
For a normal `pathlib.Path` object you can get a OS specific path by simply
converting to the string representation (eg., 'str(pathlib.Path('/somepath') ==
'/somepath'). However, for the MutiplexedPath object the __str__() value is the
same as the __repr__() (e.g., "MultiplexedPath('/somepath')").
It seems that this is a bug since I would expect MultiplexedPath to behave the
same as pathlib.Path in this regard. In the meantime is there a way to actually
access this data without stripping the prefix and suffix of this string?
