But there needs to be some way to ask a path object for its native string representation, otherwise there would be no point in using foreign path objects at all. In addition to the existing "str(pathobj)", a "path" property was recently added for that purpose: >>> import pathlib >>> pathlib.PureWindowsPath(".") PureWindowsPath('.') >>> pathlib.PureWindowsPath(".").path '.' (The specific property name was chosen to match os.scandir's DirEntry.path)

But with the new fspath enhancements wouldn't the .path attribute go away?
