Yeah, sure. But it was more like this on a single line:

os.missing1(str(our_path.something1)) *** os.missing2(str(our_path.something1)) *** os.missing1(str(our_path.something1))

And then it started to get messy because you need to work on a single long line or you need to open more than one line.

It was a simple thing actually. Like repeating the same calls to pathlib just because we need to switch to os.path.... I will ask my colleague if he remembers or if we can recover the code tommorrow...

I still cannot remember what the concrete issue was why we dropped
pathlib the same day we gave it a try. It was something really stupid

It was something that forced us to use os[.path] as Path didn't provide
something equivalent. Cannot remember.....

I'm willing to guess that if you had been able to just call

  os.whatever(your_path_obj)

it would have been at most a minor annoyance.
