[issue39461] [RFE] os.environ should support Path-like values, like subprocess(..., env=...)

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

I don't think this should be done (and I honestly would have disagreed with the Popen change for its 'env' argument or any other place that is dealing with environment variables). Environment variables are strings, period, so they should be specified as such; explicit is better than implicit (and there isn't enough pragmatic benefit to override this in my opinion).
