Description

Good

  • pathlib is nice to work with

Bad

  • Didn't exist or was provisional until Python 3.6
    • The pypi version might be compatible enough as a backport?

Research direction

Start by locating the TDMS file-path handling in the Python package and checking how path values are currently represented. Determine the supported Python versions and whether the pathlib backport concern applies; done means the relevant TDMS paths use pathlib.Path without breaking compatibility.
