[$] Representing Python paths using pathlib

Description:
At the outset of his PyCon US 2026 talk, Trey Hunner said that his goal was for attendees to stop representing
filesystem paths as strings and to use pathlib instead. That's kind of a
tall order, at least for longtime Python users,
since string-based paths have been pervasiveand mostly work. It is that "mostly" part that makes Hunner want to see things change, of course, so he
set out to describe a lesser-known corner of the language and to try to
change some minds.
