Consider this short piece of code:

from pathlib import Path
from pydriller import Repository

REPO_DIR = Path('~/foo/bar/').expanduser()
repo = Repository(REPO_DIR)

It breaks:

Exception: The path to the repo has to be of type 'string' or 'list of strings'!

It's worth noting that GitPython's Repo supports any PathLike object.

Workaround

Yes, I can manually convert the Path to a string. But PyDriller should support Path objects natively.
