[New-bugs-announce] [issue43480] Add .path method/property to tempfile.* for a pathlib.Path

[Patrick Reader]

New submission from Patrick Reader <pxeger at protonmail.com>:

It would be nice to have a `.path` method or property on `tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile`, `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory` which produces a `pathlib.Path` of their `.name` attribute, so one can use the modern interface directly.

I think a method would be more appropriate than a property because you're explicitly allocating a new object (unless you use `@functools.cached_property` or similar to have a shared object between successive calls)

I can do a PR.
