+1 for this version from me, as it means we have: - os.fsencode(obj) as the coerce-to-bytes API - os.fspath(obj) as the str/bytes hybrid API - os.fsdecode(obj) as the coerce-to-str API - os.fspath(pathlib.PurePath(obj)) as the error-on-bytes API That more strongly nudges people towards "use pathlib if you want to ensure cross-platform friendly path handling", which is an outcome I'm fine with.
