Since from what I've tried, things seem to work, I'd really like to know what precisely does fail from the opponents of utf-8b.
Seems like what will fail is taking one of these utf-8b decoded names and passing it to some external library that uses it as a filename without knowing that it has to use utf-8b to encode it. Then the funny characters won't be encoded the way they were originally, and it won't compare equal to existing filenames that it should be equal to. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
