I assume the the idea is that everybody has Path available without the need to do the import dance first.
If its for personal convenience you can always do this trick, that is used by gettext to make _ a builtin.
import pathlib import builtings
builtins.__dict__['Path'] = pathlib.Path
The public API for getting the namespace of an object is vars(): vars(builtins)['Path'] but since builtins is just a module, the best way to add a new attribute to it is: builtins.Path = pathlib.Path -- Steve
