A path produced by DeepDiff() cannot be parsed with parse_path():

>>> diff = deepdiff.DeepDiff({'Key': set([1, 2])} , {'Key': set([2])})
>>> diff
{'set_item_removed': [root['Key'][1]]}

>>> path = diff['set_item_removed']
>>> path
[root['Key'][1]]

>>> deepdiff.parse_path(path)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File ".../venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/deepdiff/path.py", line 262, in parse_path
    result = _path_to_elements(path, root_element=root_element)
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: unhashable type: 'PrettyOrderedSet'

Python 3.11, deepdiff 6.7.1

From help(deepdiff.parse_path)

**Parameters**

path : A string
The path string such as "root[1][2]['age']"

use parse_path(str(path))

deepdiff.parse_path(str(path)) works.

The documentation could be improved for clarity.

Using str is wrong because path is a PrettyOrderedSet of paths.

The correct way would be using deepdiff.parse_path(path[0]) or iterate through all paths

Hi @novns and @anddam
You may want to use the "tree view" instead of the "text view".
