Currently get_data() only accepts a string. It should also accept a os.PathLike

I'm taking a look now, this looks interesting

this would extend to set and get data right?, also would it be good to use the current get_data() (one that reads only string) function for the overloaded one and extract the string path from the os.path object? or would we want the os.path object to be handled separately?

nvm I temporarily forgot I was working with python here, I'd need to use "is" to check what the entered "path" is huh?

I hope this isn't a dumb question but where is ResourceLoader.get_data() implemented, using ATOM to search the whole project and I can't seem to find it.

Hi Jay. Thanks for your interest in contributing to Python! Actually, I'm going to close this issue since we ultimately decided to deprecate the ResourceLoader ABC: https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/importlib.html?highlight=resourceloader#importlib.abc.ResourceLoader I'd also suggest that if you're interested in answering your questions for the curiosity, or want to contribute to Python in other areas, you should join the python-dev mailing list.
