Proposal

Add a PathBase class that can be subclassed by users to implement "virtual paths", e.g. paths within .zip files or on FTP servers, and publish it as an external PyPI package.

Phase 1: Private support in pathlib

• Add private _PathBase class
  • GH-89812: Add pathlib._PathBase #106337
• Merge WalkTests into DummyPathTest
  • GH-110109: Simplify pathlib test setup #110308
  • GH-110109: Move tests for pathlib.Path.walk() into main test classes. #110655
• Sort out __hash__(), __eq__, etc - we shouldn't inherit the PurePath implementation
  • GH-110109: Churn pathlib.PurePath methods #112012
  • GH-110109: Add pathlib._PurePathBase #110670
• Simplify/speed up path walking and globbing
  • GH-72904: Add glob.translate() function #106703
• Add from_uri() classmethod
  • GH-107465: Add pathlib.Path.from_uri() classmethod. #107640

Phase 2: Experimental support in PyPI package

• Move ABCs into pathlib._abc
  • GH-110109: Move pathlib ABCs to new pathlib._abc module. #112881
  • GH-110109: Move tests for pathlib ABCs to new module. #112904
• Figure out the default value for pathmod, if any
  • GH-110109: pathlib tests: store base directory as test class attribute #113221
  • GH-110109: pathlib ABCs: do not vary path syntax by host OS. #113219
• Publish PyPI package
