Builting open(), io classes, os and os.path functions and some other functions in the stdlib support bytes paths as well as str paths. But many functions doesn't. There are requests about adding this support ([1], [2]) in some modules. It is easy (just call os.fsdecode() on argument) but I'm not sure it is worth to do. Pathlib doesn't support bytes path and it looks intentional. What is general policy about support of bytes path in the stdlib?
