@aurghs & @dcherian note that at the moment most backends accept pathlib.Path (but it is not tested), so the isintance(..., str) doesn't run expandpath in that case.

What do you suggest?

For Python 3.6+ expanduser works with paths, returning a string:

```

os.path.expanduser(pathlib.Path("~/file.nc")) '/home/username/file.nc' ``` If its preferred to keep a Path instance, then the Path.expanduser method is the equivalent.
