PosixPath error when loading schema

[Kyle Downey]

I have the following simple schema:

@0x8fe87a03768154e9;

enum Side {
buy @0;
sell @1;
}

struct TradeMessage {
time @0 : Float64;
tradeId @1 : Int64;
side @2 : Side;
size @3 : Float64;
price @4 : Float64;
}

struct Level1BookUpdateMessage {
time @0 : Float64;
best_bid_qty @1 : Float64;
best_bid_px @2 : Float64;
best_ask_qty @3 : Float64;
best_ask_px @4 : Float64;
}

which I am loading as follows using pycapnp 1.0.0 on MacOS 11.4 running Python 3.8:

import capnp

from pathlib import Path

capnp_path = Path(__file__).parent / '../../../../capnp/serenity-fh.capnp'
capnp_def = capnp.load(capnp_path)

It fails on load with the following error. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Hi Kyle,

I think you need to convert `capnp_path` back into a string before passing it to `capnp.load()`. Currently it appears you are passing a `Path` object that you constructed using pathlib, but `capnp.load` doesn't know how to deal with those, it wants a plain string.

Yep that was it. Casting via str() did the trick.
