Missing return value validation in pathlib's write_text and write_bytes tests #143866
Description
While reviewing the pathlib test suite in Lib/test/test_pathlib.py, I noticed that the return values of write_text() and write_bytes() are not being validated. Currently, they do not check if the methods correctly return the number of bytes written. I'm interested in fixing this. May I be assigned to this issue?
