autopaths's Issues

UnicodeDecodeError when using relative path without any subpath

When try to create a file in working directory without "./", Will result a UnicodeDecodeError.

OS: Windows 11
Python: 3.9.7

FilePath("test.txt").directory;
FilePath("test.txt").create();

When you trackback the error, you can found it resulted from following code:

if not directory: directory = os.path.dirname(self.absolute_path)

Based on your definition, self.absolute_path will return a FilePath object,
but os.path.dirname requires for str type argument.

I don't think it is necessary to wrap property self.absolute_path and self.physical_path as FilePath object,
as self.path already is a str object.

And this problem will influence downstream development such fasta which is also developed by yourself.
