> Currently `pyarrow` doesn't seem to support reading from `pathlib.Path` or similar objects. [PEP519|https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0519/] introduced `__fspath__` which could be used to transform any `Path` like object to a string.
> [Pandas|https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/a9d8e04ab68f688f899b4164bfa1ac868c9c1c64/pandas/io/common.py#L120-L160] has a sample implementation, though I think a simpler implementation of it could be used.
