I have a function that needs to lazy return file paths, but I can not actually use the file path since several python standard library functions perform explicit type checking on the arguments. So if I do the following:

lazy_path = lazy_object_proxy.Proxy(lambda: '/home/user')                                       
os.path.join(lazy_path, 'dir')

It results in

/usr/lib/python3.8/posixpath.py in join(a, *p)
     74     will be discarded.  An empty last part will result in a path that
     75     ends with a separator."""
---> 76     a = os.fspath(a)
     77     sep = _get_sep(a)
     78     path = a

TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not Proxy

Is there any way to bypass this behavior, perhaps with monkey patching or so?
