I would like just to emphasize that there are two distinct cases: yes, filenames with $'\n' or $'\t' are really weird and unusual, but filenames with a space are rather common. Even normal cpython had (until recently: they apparently capitulated and replaced spaces with underscores) directory https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.9/Misc/NEWS.d/next/Core%20and%20Builtins, which is part of every commit to the “Core and Builtins” component of the Python interpreter. -- http://matej.ceplovi.cz/blog/, @mc...@en.osm.town GPG Finger: 3C76 A027 CA45 AD70 98B5 BC1D 7920 5802 880B C9D8 So many time, the attitude of my heart is: “God, just tell us what to do so we can do it…without you.” Independently. -- Gretchen Konnevik: On Josh Harris, Homeschooling, and Spiritual Formulas; https://wp.me/p69TD5-1Xv
