read_hdf not supporting pathlib.Path (original) (raw)

According to the Enhancements text for 17.1:

pd.read_* functions can now also accept pathlib.Path, or py._path.local.LocalPath objects for the filepath_or_buffer argument. (GH11033)

all read_* functions should support pathlib.Path now. It works for me with read_csv but not for read_hdf.
Interestingly, I find in the squashed PR for this issue, 0d3dcbb, only a comment regarding read_csv and read_table, while the merge 82f0033 talks about read_*. Is there something missing for read_hdf ?
