The old line:

    from path import path

produced pylint errors because of the baroque way that path.py defined
"path".  We tried to get them to change how they defined it, but they
deleted the name instead: https://github.com/jaraco/path.py/issues/102

(Jason then changed his mind, but this is a better way to use path.py,
it avoids the pylint error at least.)

So the time-consuming i18n_extract step can be skipped for situations that only the translated strings are modified while the source strings are still the same.
