[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUMP-81?page=comments#action_61785 ] Adam Jack commented on GUMP-81: -------------------------------
Ok, I think I'm getting closer to understanding the problem. Python's unicode filename support (todate) only exists on Windows (NT+). See (on Brutus). [I tried 2.4 also, no better.] : >>> print os.path.supports_unicode_filenames False Unfortunately, when one reads the manuals, it says that os.listdir will return a sequence of unicode filenames when passed a unicode path, which 99.9% of the time it does (except, on Linux etc., when the filenames aren't within ascii and it can't convert them to unicode.) Basically I think we need to attempt to have the sync module work 100% w/o unicode, and hence codec re-encodings won't be attempted. > Gump (or it's tools, CVS, etc.) does not cope with Unicode filenames > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GUMP-81 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUMP-81 > Project: Gump > Type: Bug > Components: Python-based Gump > Versions: Gump2 > Reporter: Adam Jack > Fix For: Gump2 > > A circumstance was found whereby 'resume.xml' (with an e acute) in a module > (XOM, FWIIW) was checked out of the repository, but the (Python code) 'sync' > to a working directory failed.
