Changed in 3.6, 3.12

3.6: Added support for the PathLike interface. Added support for bytes paths on Windows.
3.12: The st_ctime attribute of a stat result is deprecated on Windows. The file creation time is properly available as st_birthtime, and in the future st_ctime may be changed to return zero or the metadata change time, if available.
