[issue44162] importlib.resources.path no longer supports directories

[Filipe Laíns]

Filipe Laíns  added the comment:

Yes, it would be good to properly define resources in the current docs. Though, 
I am left questioning if that definition is still correct, I assume so given 
the implementation. I will open a new bug regarding the documentation of what 
is considered a resource.

Jason, can you close this? Thanks :)

That's fine. I couldn't find anything official on it, but that change is 
working for me.

Thank you!

[issue44162] importlib.resources.path no longer supports directories

[Filipe Laíns]

Filipe Laíns  added the comment:

Directories are not resources, the reason it previously worked was purely 
accidental.

I assume you already found a solution in 
https://github.com/python/importlib_resources/issues/85, which would be

importlib.resources.files(__package__) / 'dir'

Can this be closed then?

importlib_resources 1.1.X also behaves this way:

[issue44162] importlib.resources.path no longer supports directories

[T M]

New submission from T M :

In Python 3.7 and 3.8, importlib.resources.path worked perfectly with a 
directory.

For example:

with importlib.resources.path(__package__, "dir") as dir:
os.listdir(dir)

In Python 3.9, this is raised: IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: 
'dir'

I haven't seen this change documented. I don't know if the behavior in 3.7 and 
3.8 was a bug, it sure was useful.

In this case, we have web files which we want to serve statically from that 
folder. Naming them file by file could work, but would be tedious and isn't 
preferable for us.

Thank you!
