New submission from alex rakowski :
Hello,
I've noticed that when type hinting paths, it often becomes a bit verbose:
from typing import Union
import pathlib
custom_path = Union[str, pathlib.Path]
def foobar(x:custom_path):
...
Writing functions which handle paths are pretty routine, I'm wondering if it is
worth including something that is importable e.g.
from typing import PathLike #or similar path_obj, PathType etc.
def foobar(x:PathLike):
...
Apologies if similar functionality already exists,
Alex
