[Craig Holmquist]

New submission from Craig Holmquist <craigholm at gmail.com>:

>>> import os, pathlib, shutil
>>> os.mkdir('test1')
>>> os.mkdir('test2')
>>> path = pathlib.Path('test1')
>>> shutil.move(path, 'test2')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/shutil.py", line 540, in move
    real_dst = os.path.join(dst, _basename(src))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/shutil.py", line 504, in _basename
    return os.path.basename(path.rstrip(sep))
AttributeError: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'rstrip'
