[New-bugs-announce] [issue32562] Support fspath protocol in AF_UNIX sockaddr resolution

[Nathaniel Smith]

New submission from Nathaniel Smith <njs at pobox.com>:

In 3.6, trying to connect to a AF_UNIX socket using a pathlib.Path object doesn't work:

Python 3.6.4 (default, Dec 27 2017, 13:02:49) 
[GCC 7.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket, pathlib
>>> s = socket.socket(family=socket.AF_UNIX)
>>> s.connect(pathlib.Path("asdf"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'PosixPath'

It would be good to fix this to use the fspath protocol.
