driver.load_api method not working

[Prussian1870]

Hi:

I'm using Version 0.8.0 and I can't seem to get the driver.load_api method to work. I tried using forward and backward slashes and I still get an error. In this example I'm using the r(raw) indicator:

import firebird as fdb

fdb.driver.load_api(r"c:\working\fbdll\fbclient.dll")

The error returned is: "argument of type 'WindowsPath' is not iterable"

Thanks

Well, I cannot reproduce with version 1.0.0. If your problem persist even with 1.0.0, please show me the stack trace for this exception.
