getting a full path string from a pathlib.PurePath object

[Skaperen]

is the proper way to get the plain string path of a pathlib.PurePath object or pathlib.Path object to pass it to str() and use what that returns? that is all i can find. the documentation (i have the 3.5.2 PDF) only describes the .name attribute for part of the path. i suppose i could join the .parts value in some way.

    import pathlib
    ...
    fp = pathlib.Path('foo/bar')
    ...
    fn = str(fp)

this is only the 2nd time using this module and the 1st time didn't need this.
