Gin does not support pathlib, gpath and the `fspath` protocol #165

Currently, gin is not compliant with PEP 519.

Modern Python file system operations uses pathlib-like API. Which is not supported by gin:

path = pathlib.Path('/path/to/c.gin')

gin.parse_config_files_and_bindings(path)  # Error

It is very easy to solve. Function should normalize pathlib-like object, like:

path = os.fspath(path)  # Convert pathlib & cie -> str

To check whether an object is a pathlib object:

isinstance(path, (str, os.PathLike))

My bad. It was my mistake in the previous example (parse_config_files_and_bindings([path]))
