[New-bugs-announce] [issue45419] DegenerateFiles.Path mismatch to Traversable interface

[Jason R. Coombs]

New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jaraco at jaraco.com>:

In [pytest-dev/pytest#9174](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9174), it became clear that the DegenerateFiles object has a couple of interface mismatches to Traversable:

- name is a property
- open accepts a 'mode' and arbitrary args and kwargs.

Because DegenerateFiles is an intentionally broken handle (when a resource provider is unavailable), there's little harm in the interface being broken, and the interface is already gone in Python 3.11, so the urgency of fixing this is small.
