🚀 Feature

I would like to request for extension of ignite.distributed.utils.broadcast for Path datatype as it is frequently used for distributed training and can be very useful for designing DL pipeline based projects. The API should work like this

from pathlib import Path
import ignite.distributed as idist

path = Path("./log")

idist.broadcast(path, src=0)

Further if possible we can also provide support for more data types as suggested by others. Also if possible I would like to take up this issue.

@guptaaryan16 , thank you for the suggestion. Couldn't we broadcast the path as a string which is supported now ?

@sadra-barikbin Yeah it does but I was hoping more data types can be supported as it seems possible in the codebase
