Description
(Inspired from #2267)
Starting with Python 3.6, filecmp functions can handle path-like objects, including:
filecmp.cmp()
filecmp.cmpfiles()
filecmp.dircmp()Reproduction:
import filecmp
from pathlib import Path
filecmp.dircmp(Path("/tmp"), "/tmp")
filecmp.cmp(Path("file1"), Path("file2"))Will output:
error: Value of type variable "AnyStr" of "dircmp" cannot be "Path"
error: Argument 1 to "cmp" has incompatible type "Path"; expected "Union[bytes, str]"
error: Argument 2 to "cmp" has incompatible type "Path"; expected "Union[bytes, str]"I will not have time to work on it, but I think it is a good thing to have a open issue for anyone wanting to give a hand.
