   The documentation for Traversable.name says it is a method, not a property:
   https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#importlib.abc.Traversable.name

   The issue is that with Python 3.9.7 (default, Nov 1 2021, 11:26:33), using a standard posix module (on MacOSX), it returns a string and not a method. I have not tested on newer versions, but expect similar issues. I have tagged the newer versions to get exposure, feel free to untag the versions that are confirmed to be unaffected by this bug.

   $ python3.9
   Python 3.9.7 (default, Nov  1 2021, 11:26:33) 
   [Clang 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)] on darwin
   Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
   >>> import mod
   <class 'str'>
   >>> ^D
   

   This is with a module dir named mod, w/ an empty res.txt file, and the following in __init__.py:

   from importlib import resources
   
   r = resources.files(__name__) / 'res.txt'
   
   print(repr(type(r.name)))

   Yikes! I just ran into this too. I'll test it on newer versions and submit a PR. Should be an easy documentation fix.

   Well, not so easy apparently because of the importlib docs got reorg'd in main, so it'll take a couple of PRs most likely.

   Turns out, this is fixed in main but there's another problem (#93610) for which I created a PR first.
