I suppose you stumbled over this when trying to instantiate a Reader
with a pathlib.Path
object and it failed?
The same issue will be present in sio_io
, so it should also be fixed there.

Can we not simply do
return [str(e) for e in filenames]
and the conversion will raise the TypeError
for us in case it is not possible to do it?

Ok. Do you have any objections to using os.fspath
instead of str
? It is better for catching wrong types, e.g. if None
is passed

If reader.openFiles
swallows a list of os.fspath
, I have no objections.

os.fspath()
only returns str
or bytes
. I am unsure what happens if a bytes
path is given to reader.openFiles
. fspath
is just better at throwing TypeError
if the argument is not pathlike
compared to str()
