[issue22570] Better stdlib support for Path objects

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Let's say that the path attribute should be str or bytes -- this matches
the behavior of DirEntry. (But for pathlib.Path it is always a str.) It
cannot be None or FD. But note that the getattr(x, 'path', x) idiom returns
x unchanged if x is None or an FD (or a stream, for that matter).
