torchvision.io.read_image() to accept PosixPath ?

[vfdev-5]

🚀 The feature

What do you think about supporting PosixPath objects while reading the images with io.read_image ?

from pathlib import Path
import torchvision.io as io

p = Path("test-image.jpg")
assert p.exists()
mode = io.ImageReadMode.RGB
tensor = io.read_image(p, mode)

Today, it fails with the following error:

RuntimeError: image::read_file() Expected a value of type 'str' for argument '_0' but instead found type 'PosixPath'.
