[issue44195] importlib.abc.TraversableReader is not implemented

[Filipe Laíns]

Filipe Laíns <lains at riseup.net> added the comment:

We do implement the protocol, and not TraversableResources, in some places, such as DegenerateFiles for eg. It seems to me that maybe that is an issue and we actually want to inherit from TraversableResources.

The question here is, are people supposed to be implementing readers with just files(), or are they always expected to inherit TraversableResources?

Regardless of the usefulness in code, please also consider type hinting. If people are expecting to be using this protocol, we should expose it.
