[brettcannon]

We should go through importlib and update the various APIs to accept pathlib.Path objects and not just str.

[bitdancer]

Brett, is this made obsolete by PEP-519, or is its implementation informed by that PEP?

[brettcannon]

It's informed. I need to go through the API and see what does or does not makes sense based on PEP-519.
