type of path parameter in pkgutil.iter_modules

[maarten-vandenberg]

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask the following question. If not, I'd be happy to ask it and/or look elsewhere! I could not find an answer searching this forum or typeshed issues, however a related issue might be python/typeshed#6650.

The path parameter in pkgutil.iter_modules is typed as Iterable[str]. However iter_modules also accepts a pathlib.Path, which seems consistent with the call to os.fsdecode in get_importer (accepting PathLike). Am I missing something in how this is typed or is this somehow inconsistent?

This is a bug in typeshed. I've opened python/typeshed#13636.
