Hello, Python 3.0 has already dropped support for Windows 9x in several places, and is now expected to only work with the NT family.
I propose to remove the remaining code specific to windows 9x/ME. This includes: - Py_WIN_WIDE_FILENAMES is always defined - when given a unicode string, try to always use the wide version of the win32 api. - w9xpopen will disappear Are there objections? Windows CE uses unicode, and is supposed to survive this change. Another question: I noticed that open() and other functions accept bytes objects. Is it intended? There is no test for this in the test suite. I will add some when I know what is needed. Another question #2: on posix platforms, os.path.supports_unicode_filenames is False. So far, this variable is only used to run test_pep277.py or not. Did we make some progress on this topic since the unicode-everywhere rewrite?
