Could you show an example of how this exception now looks? It should be easy to call this code with an object that trips it.

This entire function is completely unreachable - we should just remove it.

The error stack basically looks the same as before:

  File "test_py3k.py", line 6, in <module>
    test_obj = os_fspath({'test':'test'})
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not dict```

This entire function is completely unreachable - we should just remove it.

Should I remove the function instead?

The condition if sys.version_info[:2] >= (3, 6): is always true since we don't support python 3.5, so please do - everything in that else can go.

Hi, I am having difficulties trying to run the failing tests locally,
is there a document I can refer?

You may find this doc useful: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/dev/development_environment.html#running-tests

The failures are unrelated, let's try rerunning

Thanks @zer0link!

Thanks @eric-wieser , was trying to debug the issue for some time now
