Function 'logfile' assumes that filename is a string

[mborus]

• logzero version: 1.7.0
• Python version: 3.9.9
• Operating System: Windows 10

Description

in line 406 of 'init.,py' the function

def logfile(filename, ...

defines filename as a string (line 423)

  :arg string filename: Filename of the logfile. Set to `None` to disable logging to the logfile.

This causes problem with type checking, if you pass a Path (from python's pathlib), which is becoming more popular.

What I Did

Set a logfile using a pathlib Path

logzero.logfile(Path(LOGPATH, f"{mylog}.log"), maxBytes=1e6, backupCount=30)

I used PyCharm's "inspect code" feature and it flags this line as a type error.

Can you officially accept pathlib paths as a valid input so that type checking will work?
