I will be able to cut a new release, if you do not need more patch to be merged.

wow, thanks for the fast response <3.

re: another patch - do you think that FileSystemEvent.{src_path, dest_path} could be easily changed to str instead of str | bytes? The usages I checked in watchdog all encode from bytes to str, though I might be missing a case where it doesn't.

I'm happy to submit a patch for this, unless you know for a fact it needs to be str | bytes because something needs to pass bytes to the event somewhere, in which case I'll handle it locally on our side.

Go ahead with a patch as it's not the first time I read this request 👍

Hmm, it seems like we expect events to be created with byte paths iff we passed a byte path to Observer.schedule? In which case the type hint is correct. I don't think any action is needed here then.

No rush on cutting a release, BTW!
