toml compatibility - load('some.toml') fails

[Miroslav Suchý]

I am migrating from toml. And tomli claims full compatibility. But with toml I was able to:

load('some.toml')

but with tomli I get:

tomli.load('some.toml')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tomli/_parser.py", line 59, in load
    b = __fp.read()
        ^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read'

[Shantanu]

tomli claims compatibility with the TOML spec, not API compatibility with the defunct toml Python library
