[Python-Dev] Defining a path protocol (was: When should pathlib stop being provisional?)

[Victor Stinner]

os.DirEntry doesn't support bytes: os.scandir() only accept str. It's a
deliberate choice.

I strongly suggest to only support Unicode for filenames in Python 3. So
__fspath__ must only return str, or a TypeError must be raised.
