class PPath(Path):

Answer 1

It's work too.

from pathlib import Path

class SystemConfigPath(type(Path())):
    def __new__(cls, **kwargs):
        path = cls._std_etc()
        return super().__new__(cls, path, **kwargs)

    @staticmethod
    def _std_etc():
        return '/etc'

name = SystemConfigPath()
name = name / 'apt'
print(name)

Printed:

/etc/apt

@staticmethod can be replaced by @classmethod
