That's a one-off solution; systems using different encodings, or code
that passes in an encoded value will fail.
I'm having a hard time reproducing this. I've names some directories
with non-ASCII characters, and run os.path.join with those directories
and all sorts of values for 'connFile', and the join method was able
to handle it. Can you tell me what you get when you type the following:
import os
print os.path.supports_unicode_filenames
