I'm not sure either way. I've heard it claim that Windows filesystem

More:
The path functions seem also do not work:
>>> op.abspath(b'tem')
...
path = path.replace("/", "\\")
TypeError: expected an object with the buffer interface
The error message is a bit cryptic given that the problem is that the
arguments to replace should be bytes instead of strings for a bytes path.
.basename fails with
...
while i and p[i-1] not in '/\\':
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not int
os.rename, os.stat, os.mkdir, os.rmdir work. I presume same is true for
others that normally work on windows.
