You don't have to type out the whole thing every time. Define it somewhere:

PathLike = str | bytes | os.PathLike

and then you can use PathLike everywhere.

I don't think so: os.PathLike instances must have a __fspath__() method,
which str and bytes don't have.

I agree there should be something like that. This StackOverflow answer
(https://stackoverflow.com/a/68027757/59122) talks about something like
that: _typeshed.AnyPath. It is used in the standard library, but
apparently it doesn't exist at runtime and you need a trick to make it
work. I would expect something better to exist, but as far as I can find
out there isn't.

PEP 519 has a little section on the topic
(https://peps.python.org/pep-0519/#provide-specific-type-hinting-support):

> Provide specific type hinting support
>
> There was some consideration to providing a generic typing.PathLike
class which would allow for e.g. typing.PathLike[str] to specify a type
hint for a path object which returned a string representation.
> While potentially beneficial, the usefulness was deemed too small to
bother adding the type hint class.
>
> This also removed any desire to have a class in the typing module
which represented the union of all acceptable path-representing types as
that can be represented with typing.Union[str, bytes,
> os.PathLike] easily enough and the hope is users will slowly
gravitate to path objects only.

people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions
were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with
the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole
it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
