[issue44162] importlib.resources.path no longer supports directories

[T M]

New submission from T M :

In Python 3.7 and 3.8, importlib.resources.path worked perfectly with a 
directory.

For example:

with importlib.resources.path(__package__, "dir") as dir:
os.listdir(dir)

In Python 3.9, this is raised: IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: 
'dir'

I haven't seen this change documented. I don't know if the behavior in 3.7 and 
3.8 was a bug, it sure was useful.

In this case, we have web files which we want to serve statically from that 
folder. Naming them file by file could work, but would be tedious and isn't 
preferable for us.

Thank you!

importlib_resources 1.1.X also behaves this way:

That's fine. I couldn't find anything official on it, but that change is 
working for me.

Thank you!
