…3.13 (pythonGH-133831) In Python 3.13 (but not 3.12 or 3.14), pathlib classes are defined in `pathlib._local` rather than `pathlib`. In hindsight this was a mistake, but it was difficult to predict how the abstract/local split would pan out. In this patch we re-introduce `pathlib._local` as a stub module that re-exports the classes from `pathlib`. This allows path objects pickled in 3.13 to be unpicked in 3.14+ (cherry picked from commit f4e51f2) Co-authored-by: Barney Gale <barney.gale@gmail.com>
