28428	Add support for Pathlib objects in django.core.files.storage	Tom Forbes	nobody	"Code in django.core.storage will explode when given a Pathlib object on Python 3.4 and 3.5. For example, this throws a cryptic `AttributeError: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'rfind'` exception due to `generate_filename` only expecting strings:


{{{
def upload_to(filename):
      return pathlib.Path(filename)

class Storage(models.Model):
   file = models.FileField(upload_to=upload_to)
}}}


More generally, it would be nice if all methods in the django.core.files accepted pathlib objects, and used pathlib objects internally. For compatibility reasons I think strings would have to be returned."	New feature	closed	File uploads/storage	dev	Normal	fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
