The library function winsound.PlaySound takes a sound parameter. One of the valid arguments is a path to a WAV filename. Since Python 3.4, paths can be cleanly represented with PathLib.Path instances. However, if you pass a Path instance to PlaySound, it responds with: TypeError: 'sound' must be str or None, not 'WindowsPath' This can be quickly fixed in the caller by passing str(the_path_instance) instead, but it would be cleaner if PlaySound accepted Python's preferred method of representing paths. |

PlaySound() is implemented by the C function winsound_PlaySound_impl() in "PC/winsound.c". To support pathlike objects, it could use `soundname = PyOS_FSPath(sound)`, and require soundname to be a Unicode string via PyUnicode_Check(soundname). Or it could more generically support any buffer or pathlike object via PyUnicode_FSDecoder(sound, &soundname). This call decodes byte strings using the filesystem encoding, which is UTF-8 unless legacy ANSI mode is enabled. |
