Python 3.12: 'WindowsPath' object has no attribute 'write'

[zc-devs]

Next code doesn't work anymore:

qr = qrcode.make("some data")
qr.save(path.with_name("qr.png"))

Worked fine on Python 3.10.

Stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    gen_qr(,
  File "C:\Users\User\test\qr_gen.py", line 66, in gen_qr
    qr.save(path.with_name("qr.png"))

AttributeError: 'WindowsPath' object has no attribute 'write'. Did you mean: 'drive'?

Environment:

• OS - Windows 10
• Python - 3.12
• qrcode - 7.4.2
