From `langchain_community 0.0.30`, there's a bug that cannot send a
file-like object via `file` parameter instead of `file path` due to
casting the `file_path` to str type even if `file_path` is None.
which means that when I call the `partition_via_api()`, exactly one of
`filename` and `file` must be specified by the following error message.
however, from `langchain_community 0.0.30`, `file_path` is casted into
`str` type even `file_path` is None in `get_elements_from_api()` and got
an error at `exactly_one(filename=filename, file=file)`.
here's an error message
```
---> 51 exactly_one(filename=filename, file=file)
53 if metadata_filename and file_filename:
54 raise ValueError(
55 "Only one of metadata_filename and file_filename is specified. "
56 "metadata_filename is preferred. file_filename is marked for deprecation.",
57 )
File /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/unstructured/partition/common.py:441, in exactly_one(**kwargs)
439 else:
440 message = f"{names[0]} must be specified."
--> 441 raise ValueError(message)
ValueError: Exactly one of filename and file must be specified.
```
So, I simply made a change that casting to str type when `file_path` is
not None.
I use `UnstructuredAPIFileLoader` like below.
```
from langchain_community.document_loaders.unstructured import UnstructuredAPIFileLoader
documents: list = UnstructuredAPIFileLoader(
file_path=None,
file=file, # file-like object, io.BytesIO type
mode='elements',
url='http://127.0.0.1:8000/general/v0/general',
content_type='application/pdf',
metadata_filename='asdf.pdf',
).load_and_split()
```
* **Description**: add `None` type for `file_path` along with `str` and
`List[str]` types.
* `file_path`/`filename` arguments in `get_elements_from_api()` and
`partition()` can be `None`, however, there's no `None` type hint for
`file_path` in `UnstructuredAPIFileLoader` and `UnstructuredFileLoader`
currently.
* calling the function with `file_path=None` is no problem, but my IDE
annoys me lol.
* **Issue**: N/A
* **Dependencies**: N/A

So this arose from the
https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/pull/18397 problem of document
loaders not supporting `pathlib.Path`.
This pull request provides more uniform support for Path as an argument.
The core ideas for this upgrade:
- if there is a local file path used as an argument, it should be
supported as `pathlib.Path`
- if there are some external calls that may or may not support Pathlib,
the argument is immidiately converted to `str`
- if there `self.file_path` is used in a way that it allows for it to
stay pathlib without conversion, is is only converted for the metadata.

- **Description:** Updated `_get_elements()` function of
`UnstructuredFileLoader `class to check if the argument self.file_path
is a file or list of files. If it is a list of files then it iterates
over the list of file paths, calls the partition function for each one,
and appends the results to the elements list. If self.file_path is not a
list, it calls the partition function as before.
- **Issue:** Fixed#15607,
- **Dependencies:** NA
- **Twitter handle:** NA
