[issue39311] difflib pathlike support for {unified, context}_diff() {from, to}file

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com> added the comment:

Elsewhere users of Path objects must explicitly coerce to str.  For example:  json.dumps(str(Path("example.py"))).   This makes good sense to me.  We don't want to add an dependency on pathlib just to recognize Path objects.
