But if you need that "everywhere", what's so hard about

Now, note how that pattern fails as soon as you want to use
non-ISO-8859-1 languages for subdir names.
Bear in mind that the use cases I'm talking about here are WSGI
stacks with components written by multiple authors -- each of whom
may have to define that function, and still get it right.
Sure, there are some things that could go in wsgiref in the
stdlib. However, as of this moment, there's only a very uneasy rough
consensus in Web-Sig as to how the heck WSGI should actually *work*
on Python 3, because of issues like these.
That makes it tough to actually say what should happen in the stdlib
-- e.g., which things should be classed as stdlib bugs, which things
should be worked around with wrappers or new functions, etc.
